Full church collapsed in Nigeria

- An unknown number of people were killed when a church collapsed in the Nigerian city of Uyo (Akwa Ibom State). The building had gathered a lot of people according to Nigerian media as a spiritual bishop was consecrated.

Many churchgoers are still buried under the rubble, said a witness to the newspaper Business Times. It is still unclear which construction collapsed suddenly. The church was reportedly restored due to the expected high turnout Saturday.

It is the second time in two years that a church in Nigeria collapses during a service. So were dozens of people died in 2014 when a church collapsed in the city of Lagos.
