LEADERSHIP gathered that the leadership of the church had opted for the Polo Club ground in order to accommodate the expected large crowd since an open invitation was extended to the public.

 

The church had also announced the distribution of free food items during the programme in commemoration of its fourth anniversary.

 

The remains of the victims have been deposited at the morgue of the Military Specialist Hospital, Port Harcourt.
