This seems to be the era of collapsing of church buildings as barely three weeks, Nigeria has recorded three incidents.
Shortly after TB Joshua's church building collapsed, another building belonging to Christ Chosen Church of God collapsed in Edo state killing three people. The most recent is building belonging to Liberty Power Bible Church a.k.a Power Palace at Asoro Slope, off Ekenwan Road in Benin city, Edo state.
The building sinked yesterday September 28th.
According to reports, the incident happened shortly after members of the church left the building after the close of service. No life was lost.
The owner of the land where the church was being constructed, Ajor Sylvanus, told reporters that the building collapsed because it was not properly built.
“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.” he said.
