An aide to Udom Emmanuel lost his life in the process of saving the Akwa Ibom governor from the collapsed Reigners church building in Uyo over the weekend.

Premium Times gathered that the aide to the Governor, Ernest Idem, couldn’t get out alive as he was hit by the iron beams and he died instantly.

Ubong Mboho, an evangelist, who was inside the collapsed building told Premium Times on Sunday, that he witnessed the governor’s aide sacrifice his life to save the governor.

“He (the governor’s aide) was standing close to the governor. I saw him push the governor away from danger when the building started falling,” said Mr. Mboho whose father, Elijah Mboho, an influential arch bishop in Akwa Ibom, was scheduled to perform the ‘enthronement’.

At least 27 persons lost their lives, while others sustained injuries when the roof and the iron beams in the building housing Reigners Bible Church, Uyo, collapsed on Saturday during a church enthronement of pastor, Akan Weeks as a bishop.
