Uyo church collapse

Many had attended the Reigners Bible Church crusade in Akwa Ibom on December 10, oblivious of the impending danger.

While the programme was ongoing, the church building collapsed, leaving many dead.

Governor of the state, Emmanuel Udom who was in the building barely escaped death after his security officer pushed him away from danger.

There were however conflicting figures about the casualty figures; the Nigerian Medical Association claimed 21 persons died in the collapse while a medical officer who attended to the injured victims informed the media that over 200 lives were lost.
