Unfortunately, few days after the prayer session, on Monday afternoon, November 1 the 21-storey building collapsed with many trapped and some dead.
A Twitter user who shared the video on Twitter, wrote,
“This is apparently is a few days ago. A prayer meeting on the rooftop of the uncompleted tower. The developer himself is seen in white.”
Reacting to the video another Twitter user @just_praiz wrote,
“Apparently, he knew there was a problem with the structure but thought he could amend it with his faith. I think the teaching of the place of work in faith is lacking in my many Nigerian churches today.”
@megalos_doxa, “So what do we now say? That God didn’t hear their prayers or what, mtchewww, When people realize that life operate on principles, they will stop mixing religion and life principles up”.
@ese_anastasia, “Religion is one of our problems in Africa 😢doing evil and hiding under religion , doing the wrong things and portraying religion 😢God help us all 🙌May the souls of all faithful departed Rest In Peace ✌️”.
