A building belonging to Liberty Power Bible Church a.k.a Power Palace at Asoro Slope, off Ekenwan Road in Benin city, Edo state, collapsed on Sunday, September 28, 2014.
The worshippers escaped death by the whiskers as the building came down shortly after Sunday church service was over.
No life was lost as members had vacated the church building before the collapse.
The owner of the land where the church was being constructed, Ajor Sylvanus, speaking to the press said the building was due to collapse at it was not properly built.
He said: “The storm that followed the rain was much but I have been complaining about the building structure. The pastor built the church like a fence, no pillar. The block is just ordinary sand. I have been telling him that no pillar would cause the building to collapse.
“The building fell on my building and damaged many things. I thanked God that nobody died. When the pastor came, he was concerned about the musical instrument in his church and thanked God that his church members were not around when the building fell.
“I had to call the police. The building has already cracked and I have been warning the pastor that the building will collapse.”
