Tears Flow in Ogun State: ‘RCCG Pastor, 22 others buried in rubble of Collapsed 21 storey Building’
According to Emmanuel, who visited the site of
the collapse building, explained that Ogunfuwa, who is the Pastor in charge of the RCCG Living Water Parish in
Ibafo, Ogun State, was working as a contractor at the site as at the time of
the incident and has not been found nor identified among those rescued or
brought out dead.
The missing pastor it
was gathered was acting as an engineer working along with 22 other artisans,
comprising bricklayers and welders, from Ibafo to work in the building.
According to Emmanuel:
“I am here this morning because one of my pastor friends is working here, he is
an engineer, he came with about 22 people all the way from Ibafo (Ogun State)
to work here; labourers, bricklayers, welders, about 22 different guys that
came together with him to work on the project.
“Till now, out of those that have been
rescued, we’ve not seen any of those 22 and he himself is still there because
we learnt that yesterday (Monday), at break time, he came out to eat but as he
was about washing his hands to eat, he was summoned by one of his bosses and he
went back inside but about five to 10 minutes later, the building collapsed and
he was trapped.
“He is still there now and we pray that God
will have his way upon those still there.
“As a church, we prayed all through yesterday
night and we’re still believing that there is nothing God cannot do because we
know that people are still many there, they said they are over 50.
“The ones they’ve rescued are not up to 10,
definitely we are still expecting more people to be rescued. We only pray to
God bring more survivors out.”
