A church building has collapsed in Taraba State, injuring many worshippers.
The church, UMCN church, is located behind Police Divisional office, in Mutum-Biyu town, the headquarters of Gassol Local Government Area of the State.
Sources disclosed to Newsmen that worshipers were said to be in the church on Sunday before the building caved in due to a heavy rainfall accompanied by strong windstorm.
However, no death was recorded in the incident.
Those who sustained injuries were taken to Mutumbiyu Refferal Hospital for treatment, while those with fractures were rushed to a local bone setter in the town.
The bone setter, Alhaji Baffa Wanzami, told Daily Trust via a phone conversation that three of the worshipers including a girl who got fractures on their arms and legs were brought to him.
It is very sad that some worshipers were injured while others got fractures when the church they were conducting service collapsed. Some of those that got fractures including a little girl were brought to me and l set their fractured bones,” Wanzami said.
Another resident, Musa Adamu, also disclosed to reporter that some houses in the town were also destroyed.
