The Government of Akwa Ibom State has commiserated with the
families of victims of a collapsed building at Reigners Bible Church
International along Uyo Village road.
His Excellency, the Governor of Akwa Ibom State, Mr Udom
Emmanuel was present at the church during the incident and thereafter
personally supervised rescue operations and evacuation of the injured to
the hospital. The State Government will undertake the medical treatment
of the victims.
A high- Powered panel of enquiry is being constituted to
ascertain the immediate and remote factors leading to the collapse of
the church building with a view to forestall the re-occurrence of such
incident and bring to book persons found to have compromised
professional standards in the construction of the building.
In the meantime, The Government of Akwa Ibom State is
appealing to citizens of the state to remain calm, pray for the injured
and avoid undue speculation as the situation is being given the best
possible attention.
