Reports from Nigeria indicates the death toll of worshipers who gathered in Reigners Bible Church for the ordaining of a bishop on Saturday has now risen to a staggering 160.
The unfortunate event took place in Uyo in Akwa Ibom State. Many fear the death toll is likely to increase which will put much pressure on the choked mortuaries in the town.
The Governor of the state was among the worshipers but managed to escape unhurt. A full scale investigation has been launched to investigate if there were structural lapses.
Meanwhile Nigeria President Muhammadu Buhari has expressed much sadness and has therefore sent his condolences through the state governor.
In 2014, the Synagogue Church Of All Nations owned by famous preacher T.B. Joshua collapsed and killed over 100 people.
