Residents helping workers out of the rubble

At least one person have been confirmed dead in a collapsed storey building belonging to Christ Chosen Church of God located at Usama street, Uzebu quarters in Benin, capital of Edo state.

The dead person was pulled out of the rubble after about three hours after a rescue operation by sympathisers.

Three of the nine workers allegedly hired by the church at N3000 per day to demolish the building which served as offices and living quarters to officials of the church, were said to have juststepped out of the building to eat when it suddenly collapsed on those still working.


The collapsed church building

As at the time of filling this report, two persons were still trapped in the debris while the three who were rescued alive were brought out with broken limbs. One of the survivors who refused to gave his name, confirmed that authorities of the church hired them to demolish the building manually. “They asked us to destroy the building. We didn’t have money to eat and a boy asked us to join him for lunch. Four workers were still inside the church when it came down. We had demolished the upper part and they were removing the blocks when the building came down. We did not see the pastor and others again but they were here when the building collapsed,” he said.




The angry mob set church bus on fire

Angry residents set a bus belonging to the church ablaze and destroyed the main church auditorium. They blamed the church for resorting to manual labour to demolish the building when they could have hired an excavator. P.M. NEWS reports that a two storey building belonging to a pentecostal church pastor also collapsed last Wednesday at Ekpoma, the administrative headquarters of Esan West local government area of the state. No life was however lost in the collapsed building.

The kingdom of God suffereth violence and men of violence taketh it by force. Nevertheless, Churches need to hire qualified construction workers while executing their various building projects and must ensure that quality building materials are not sacrificed on the altar of strict stingy church financial management.

I don't think the the world of Christianity will come to an end via the collapsing of few churches in Nigeria. I expect it to come (if at all it will come) via worldwide persecution of Christians.

too bad.

its on a gradual stage. Little by little nigerians are getting wiser but the poorvaty and illiteracy rate is responsible for the delay.

The suffering mass are in too much problem as a result of this seeking solution and running to solution center with this I think it will be hard but sure we will get there even on a slow paste.
