LAGOS – A witness representing the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN), Engineer Dr. Victor Oyenuga has told the coroner that the collapse of the building belonging to The Synagogue, Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) was not as a result of a faulty foundation.
The Engineer made this submission while being cross-examined by counsel to The SCOAN, Olalekan Ojo who also pointed out to the witness that most aspects of the COREN report were based on probabilities rather than facts. Responding to the observation of Mr. Ojo, the witness agreed that several of the submissions contained in the report were based on assumptions.
The COREN witness, who resides in Ikotun, also admitted that he was never at the scene of the collapsed building which is not at par with a post investigation report. He rather based all his submissions on reports from other agencies.
