Popular Nollywood actress escapes death in the Nigerian Church collapse

Popular Nigerian actress Ini Edo on Sunday, 11 December, narrated to her 1.6 million followers on Instagram how she escaped death by a whisker after skipping a Church service in Uyo.

The Nollywood actress wrote: “Two days ago, I was very bitter about the unreliable nature of some of our airlines cancelling flights without prior notice thereby hindering my plans to attend a church service ceremony held in uyo.

“Now out of determination, I took a flight to Calabar with the hope of being in Uyo just in time for the service since the journey between Calabar and Uyo was just about an hour.”

“The journey ended up taking over 7hrs because of unexplainable traffic. No accident, good road no hitches just headlock traffic. Whilst in the car, I started wondering why all my efforts to be at the service was being thwarted… then I got a call, that the entire church building had collapsed during the course of the service …. Once again, God had saved me”.

The actress sent a heartfelt condolence message to the bereaved families.

“My heart goes out to the families of the departed. May the good Lord grant them the heart to bear the loss”.
