The Reigners Bible church building has
collapsed in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, with
many feared dead and several others injured.
The Church, located along Village Road, was
filled to capacity because its pastor was
being consecrated as a Bishop, when the
tragedy occurred, witnesses said.
“Pastor Akan Week was being consecrated
today so the programme was holding inside
the Church when suddenly, the whole building
collapsed,” one witness said.
The witness said the Church was being
renovated and upgraded because of the
expected high number of guests on Saturday.
“Many people are buried under the debris as
emergency workers continue rescue exercise,”
he said.
Governor Udom Emmanuel was expected to
attend the occasion, but, sources said he was
not at the church when it collapsed.
“The governor has gone to the scene and is
presently there helping with the rescue,” a
witness said.
Our sources said many victims have been
taken to various hospitals and mortuaries in
the town.
A source at one of the hospitals, Premier
Hospital, said many of the injured were taken
there and were receiving medical attention.
A police spokesperson who sounded
emotional when contacted by phone, said she
could not speak on the matter immediately.
“You need to be here to witness it, there is so
much confusion,” she simply said.
