Some members of the Deeper Life Bible Church located at
Iragbo community in Badagry, Lagos state, were injured on Sunday when the
church building collapsed.
According to NAN, there was heavy rain during which the
church building collapsed around 9:30am while service was in progress.
No fatality was recorded in the incident.
Topohozin Tunde, a member of the church, said six members of
the church sustained serious injuries.
“I also sustained a serious knee injury, but thank God no
life was lost,” he said.
“Around 9:30 this morning, during the church service, there
was a heavy storm which hit the church building, and before we knew what was
happening, the whole church building collapsed.
“Some were able to escape, while about six of us sustained
serious injuries.
“Those that were
seriously injured were taken to the General Hospital in Badagry for proper
attention.
“Since my injury was not much, I decided to take care of
myself.”
Tunde, however, alleged that although the injured persons
got medical attention, they were not treated properly because “there was no
medical doctor available at the hospital” at the time of the incident.
Also speaking on the incident, Thoma Agodi, the Baale of
Iragbo community, said he was inside his palace when a resident came to inform
him that the church building had collapsed.
“We have to thank God
that there was no fatality as a result of the collapse,” he added.
