About two
weeks after Christ's Chosen Church of God building collapsed in Benin, another
church building has collapsed at Asoro Slope, Ekenwan Road in Benin.
The church,
Liberty Power Bible Church Incorporated, was said to have collapsed around
1.30pm after a heavy rainstorm on Sunday.
No life was
lost in the incident, but a residential building was affected by the disaster.
The head
pastor of the church, Apostle Moses Erue, was said to have returned few hours
after the collapse to salvage some of the church property.
No church
member was around when our news crew visited.
Neighbours
ascribed the disaster to the use of sub-standard building material in
constructing church building.
An angry
neighbour whose residential building was affected, Mr. Ajoh Silvanus, said he had
earlier warned the pastor severally about the inferior materials being used for
the construction of the church auditorium but the latter remained adamant.
Ajor said
his brother narrowly escaped being hit by the collapsing pillars of the church.
As at press
time the leadership of the church was yet to react to the disaster.
