As we earlier informed you, tragedy struck this morning on Saturday 10th December 2016, as Reigners Bible Church, located along Uyo Village Road, collapsed, turning the entire structure to rubble. It was filled to capacity as its head pastor, Akan Week was being consecrated as a Bishop.
The Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Udom Emmanuel was a special guest at the occasion and narrowly escaped the inscident. He however, was seen at the scene, rendering support to speed up the rescue operation in the best way possible.
Nearly a hundred people have been confirmed dead, with some corpses found in pieces, exposing vital organs; some crushed under heavy metals; others intact, but with deep gashes etc. Rescue operations are still ongoing at the scene and the death toll is expected to hit 150 by the end considering the multitude present at the ceremony and the severity of the incident.
