A member of the church, Topohozin Tunde, told the news outlet that at least six members of the church, including him, sustained serious injuries at the Deeper Life Bible Church, in Iragbo community, Badagry.

The building collapsed under the influence of a heavy storm while the service was in progress around 9:30 am
 
He said, “I also sustained a serious knee injury. But thank God no life was lost. Just around 9:30 this morning, during the church service, there was a heavy storm which hit the church building, and before we could know what was happening, the whole church building collapsed.

Those that were seriously injured were taken to the General Hospital in Badagry for proper attention while some were to escape.
 
The Baale of Iragbo, Thoma Agodi, said he was inside his palace when a resident came to inform him that the church building had collapsed.
 
“We have to thank God that there is no fatality as a result of the collapse,” he said.
