After a building collapsed in the Synagogue Church of All Nations, SCOAN, Lagos, church buildings have been collapsing.
One week ago, a building belonging to Christ Chosen Church of God collapsed in Edo state killing three people. Now, another building in the same state has collapsed.
This time, the building is a property of Liberty Power Bible Church a.k.a Power Palace at Asoro Slope, off Ekenwan Road in Benin city, Edo state.
The incident happened yesterday but the good news is that no lives were lost as it happened shortly after members of the church had left the building following the closure of Sunday service.
According to Mr. Ajor Sylvanus, the owner of the land were the building was built, it collapsed because the foundation was poorly laid.
The owner of the land where the church was being constructed, Ajor Sylvanus, told reporters that the
“The storm that followed the rain was much but I have been complaining about the building structure. The pastor built the church like a fence, no pillar. The block is just ordinary sand. I have been telling him that no pillar would cause the building to collapse. The building fell on my building and damaged many things. I thanked God that nobody died. When the pastor came, he was concerned about the musical instrument in his church and thanked God that his church members were not around when the building fell. I had to call the police. The building has already cracked and I have been warning the pastor that the building will collapse.” Sylvanus said.
