Clearly touched by the tragic event, Governor Eno who described the deaths as devastating and painful, expressed sadness at the unfortunate incidence, emphasizing that that the calamity has befallen not just the Salvation Army Church but the entire people of the state.


He however acknowledged that the deceased met their tragic end while returning from a church programme, a sacrifice he said they rendered to God and  noted that God who created man knows when and how each an everyone will leave the planet earth and prayed for the repose of their souls.


“This is one of the things I have prayed not to do; to become a Consoler-In-Chief. It is devastating and painful. The tragic loss is not just to the Salvation Army but to Akwa Ibom people. 


"But again, God knows when we will all leave and how we will leave. It is particularly sad when considering that they were returning  from a Church programme


"We can only pray for the repose of their souls. The State Government will do everything to support the Church at this time and of course the families that have lost their loved ones."
