- The state government in its reports said the church collapsed as a result of heavily soaked waters

The St. Paul's Catholic Church, Ugolo, Adagbrasa in Okpe local government area of Delta state which collapsed on worshippers on Sunday, September 2, was 100 years old, a report has said.

Daily Trust reports that a preliminary report by the Delta state government delegation on inquiry of the collapsed building said the church was built 100 years ago.

An aide to the governor quoting the leader of the delegation and the commissioner of works in the state, James Augoye, said the church collapsed as a result of heavily soaked waters.

He said: "The church is a 100 years old church building and in an attempt to rebuild and expand the church, the old church building collapsed as a result of heavily soaked waters occasioned by the weight of worshippers who leaned against the walls while the early morning mass was on."

He also called for necessary approvals for buildings especially public structure before construction to avoid such incidences.

Meanwhile, Mc Ebisco previously reported that a Catholic Church in Delta state collapsed during morning mass on Sunday, September 2.

The collapse of the church building led to the death of one person while many others were injured.
