Besides, they sought the court for an order directing the defendants pay the claimants the sum of N30 million being the legal cost and solicitors fee incurred by the claimants in prosecuting this action.
Also sued are: Lagos state Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice and Lagos state Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development.
The claimants asked the court for an order declaring that Pastor Temitope Balogun Joshua and his church, Synagogue of All Nation (SCOAN) were negligent in their duties in failing to ensure that lives and properties of persons that come within their domain are safe and secured, and are consequently bound to bear their cost of living from September 12, 2014 to September 11, 2049 when the deceased husband was meant to reach the age of 70 and would naturally be unable to financially cater for them.
