Members of Deeper Life Bible Church, located in the Iragbo community in Badagry, Lagos State, on Sunday sustained serious injuries when the church building collapsed.
The building, as reliably gathered, collapsed around 9 am on Sunday following a heavy storm while the service was ongoing.
Although, details of the incident are still sketchy, however, an official of the Lagos State Emergency Management Agency (LASEMA) has confirmed the incident.
According to reports, those who were badly injured have been taken to the General Hospital in Badagry for treatment.
The development adds to the growing cases of building collapse in the country’s commercial nerve centre. Last year, a high rise crumbled in Lagos State, killing scores and injuring others.
Meanwhile, experts have identified quackery, substandard building materials, pilfering, and faulty non-adherence to designs among others as reasons for the recurrent cases of building collapse.
