PASTOR Ezekiel Sunny Ahmed, the clergy in charge of a Dunamis Church located at Mission Ward, North Bank, Makurdi on Tuesday died in a church building collapse.
Information regarding the cause of the church collapse were scanty. However, a member of the church who craved anonymity observed in telephone conversation with National Record that, the collapse might be due to unprofessional handling of the structure.
He further stated that four persons including the pastor were praying in the 1000 capacity church building before the incident occurred and the three persons who narrowly escaped death sustained various degrees of injury.
