Senate President, Dr.
Abubakar Bukola Saraki, on Sunday sympathized with victims of
the uncompleted Reigners Bible Church, which collapsed in Uyo, Akwa Ibom
State, on Saturday.
Saraki in a statement
by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicly, Yusuph Olaniyonu, in
Abuja, commiserated with Governor Udom Emmanuel, who narrowly escaped
the unfortunate incident, the Christian Community
and all those who were directly affected.
While praying for
speedy recovery for those still receiving medical attention in
hospitals, Saraki called for urgent and thorough investigation to
determine both the remote and immediate cause of the building
collapse.
"It is so sad that
this incident claimed precious lives of innocent worshippers and injured
scores of others," Saraki said. "This was certainly an avoidable
occurrence, the more reason relevant state and
federal authorities should urgently launch an investigation to unravel
the mechanical, environmental and human factors responsible for the
incident.
"I believe such
investigation, if sincerely done, will help us to guide against this
unnecessary waste of lives, injuries and damage to property in the
future. My heart goes out to all the victims, the
Christian Community in Akwa Ibom State and the entire people of the
state," Saraki said.
