One more person has been confirmed dead in the church building collapse in Delta State, raising the death toll to four.

CEOAFRICA reported earlier on Wednesday that three persons were killed after the building collapsed on Tuesday at Okpanam community in Oshimili North Local Government Area (LGA) of the state.

Hours after the report, the Commissioner of Information in the state, Charles Aniagwu, confirmed that one of the injured victims had died.

Those who were confirmed dead earlier included a woman and two girls, while the new death recorded was also a child whose gender has yet to be ascertained.

A combination of photos taken on January 12, 2022, shows scenes from the building collapse in Delta State.

The Police Public Relations Officer in Delta, Bright Edafe, had also confirmed that 18 other people trapped in the rubble were rescued.

Although it is unclear if those rescued are all children, Edafe said the search and rescue operations were over.

Giving a breakdown of those injured, he said four of them have been discharged while 11 people were receiving treatment. But one of them was the child who died recently.

When the building collapsed on Tuesday, several persons were feared to be trapped in the rubble.
