Abia - Four Storey Church Building Collapses

Following an early morning downpour on Monday morning, a four-storey building belonging to ‘Behold He Cometh Pentecostal Church’ situated at Umuagu-Umuahia, Abia State has collapsed ,no life was lost in the incident as nobody was at the site when the building collapsed.

Eyewitness account says the building which was at its final stage of completion before the tragedy collapsed around 10am after heavy rainfall that lasted for hours.
An elder in the church, Mr. Awom Samuel, while speaking with us after the incident disclosed that the contractors in charge of the building were alerted earlier, after having noticed that there were cracks on the wall of the building.
Wondering why the building collapsed after so much money was expended to put it up, he stressed that the contractor has several questions to answer.
In response to the development, the Umuahia Capital Development Authority, said it had commenced investigations into the incident.
Another source who pleaded not to be named said the use of substandard materials led to the disaster, assuring that the entire truth would be uncovered after proper investigations.
