Synagogue Church of All Nations, SCOAN, yesterday, described as ‘unreasonable and biased’ the Coroner’s Inquest verdict, which held that  structural failure due to combination of designs and detailed errors were the cause of last year’s collapse which claimed the lives of 116 worshipers.

The Lagos Coroner’s Inquest into the collapse of a six-storey building belonging to SCOAN indicted the church for ‘criminal negligence’ and recommended that it be prosecuted.
