A witness from the Council for the
Regulation of Engineers in Nigeria (COREN), Engineer Victor Oyenuga, on yesterday
told the Lagos State Coroners Court sitting in Ikeja, that the foundation of
the collapsed Synagogue Church Of All Nations (SCOAN) owned guesthouse, is very
thick.
The witness also revealed while testifying
before the court presided over by Chief Magistrate, Oyetade Komolafe, that the
quality of materials used on the failed building were good and capable of
standing the test of time.
While being cross-examined by SCOAN’s
counsel, Olalekan Ojo, Oyenuga acknowledged that structural engineers basically
work on assumptions.
He said: “I never visited the site of the
collapsed guesthouse. But I can confirm to the court that the report submitted
by the team that investigated the possible cause of the collapse guest house is
accurate and not misinforming.”
However, the witness admitted that the
report which the team had tendered before the Coroners Court, was not signed by
any member of the team that took part in the investigation.
