This comes barely nine days after a church building collapsed in the state during the consecration of its pastor as a Bishop, leaving many worshippers dead and others injured.

An eyewitness, Edet Jack, said some of the victims who were thought to have been dead in the incident, were revived on arrival at the hospital.

It was gathered that three years ago, the government renovated some sections of the 60-year old market.

Ephraim Inyangeyen, the commissioner of works, who led an emergency rescue team to the scene of the incident denied that no life was lost, while asking people to stop spreading unverifiable report.

An eyewitness strongly opposed denial by the commissioner that no life was lost in the incident.

Oh my beloved state, what is really going on there? Two weeks ago was in church( akan week) today in the market. May the soul of the dead rest in peace and quick recovering to the injured.
