A tragic event unfolded yesterday at the Celestial Church of Christ, Olorun Majemu Parish 1, located opposite ERO Dam in Ikun Ekiti, when heavy rain coupled with strong winds led to the collapse of the church building.
The structure, still under construction, fell down at approximately 7:50 PM as congregants were in the midst of prayer. Reports suggest the rainstorm lasted close to an hour, which resulted in the building’s failure. At least ten people were affected and suffered significant injuries.
The parish’s spiritual leader, Mr. Ogunjobi Samuel Abha, has appealed to kind-hearted Nigerians for assistance, highlighting the church’s financial constraints in dealing with the damage.
