NO fewer than six worshippers of the Deeper Life Bible Church located at Iragbo community in the Badagry area of Lagos State were reported to have sustained several degrees of injuries on Sunday, April 24, 2022, when the church building collapsed during service hours.
Reports suggest that the building caved in at about 9:30 am due to heavy rain while service was in progress. No fatality was recorded in the incident.
A member of the church, Topohozin Tunde, while narrating the event said six members of the church sustained serious injuries.
“I also sustained a serious knee injury, but thank God no life was lost.
“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,” he said.
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 the Iragbo community, said he was inside his palace when a resident came to inform him that the church building had collapsed.
