So Sad: 4-Year-Old Boy Dies During Church Vigil In Abia
The death of a 4-year-old boy has been confirmed by the police in Aba area of the state…
The boy whose name was not released, died after an all-night prayer in a church on Saturday morning.
The police also confirmed that 15 other people were choked during the vigil.
According to PM News, a group called “Young People’s Christian Fellowship in Ututu, Arochukwu area of the state, held a vigil and most of them were reportedly made unconscious by fumes from a generating set which was used for the prayer meeting.
Speaking to newsmen, the police Area Commander, Aba, Peter Wabara said, We got a phone call this morning that some persons were allegedly lying dead in a church at 8 Eziukwu road by Milverton Avenue, Aba.”
“So I mobilised my men and called in some doctor friends since the government doctors were on strike and they accompanied us to the scene of the event.”
“There we looked through the glass door and found them lying unconscious in a scattered manner. Fortunately, some of them were breathing so we moved them to two hospitals.”
Wabara said that 11 of the worshipers were admitted at the Austin-Graces hospital on Okigwe road while four of them were moved to Goodness and Mercy hospital on Faulks road, Aba.
A police source that was among the rescuers, told newsmen that the boy died as a result of the weight of his heavily-built father which fell on him when the man became unconscious.
The source said the child was seating beside his father and when they became unconscious, the father unknowingly fell to that side of his seat, pressing the boy and making breathing hard for him.

ATTENTION! Things You Need To Know About The Deadly Ebola Virus To Stay Safe
Did you hear that the dreaded EBOLA Virus has entered Lagos?
Things you need to know about Ebola Virus to stay SAFE…
1. It is a Central African disease that has traveled over countries in a living host to West Africa. It is easily spread by physical contact and eating contaminated bush meat. Major hosts are in 5 species of Bats but monkeys and apes are easily infected and killed.
2. It kills in a week, leaving no time to treat an individual.
3. It has no known vaccine or cure
4. Known cases have been experienced recently in Guniea, Liberia and Central Africa Rep, spreading eastwards and westwards towards Nigeria. Death toll so far in West Africa is over 100.
5. The Ebola outbreak of 2014 is the most challenging one witnessed in Africa.
What we can do?
1. Avoid eating any bush meat for now! Especially Apes and Bats.
2. Wash your hands as regularly as possible, especially after shaking a stranger. It is spread by contact.
3.The most straightforward prevention method during Ebola outbreaks is not touching patients, their excretions, and body fluids, or possibly contaminated materials and utensils. Patients should be isolated, and medical staff should be trained and apply strict barrier nursing techniques (disposable face mask, gloves, goggles, and a gown at all times).
Traditional burial rituals, especially those requiring embalming of bodies, should be discouraged or modified.
Awareness is key, don’t just read or ignore…
spread this campaign before the virus spreads! If you are doubt this, check it on google.

MUSIC LYRICS: A God like you by "Kirk Franklin"
"A God Like You"
Everybody wanna be like you
They want power and praise like you
But see there is no god like our God
There's no one like you
Who gave their life like you?
And who paid our price like you?
See there's only one god that's our God
There's no one like you.
Who can touch like you
Or heal us like you do
We stumble and we stray
'til you always get us through
Who makes all things new
And comes to our rescue
Death, hell and the grave
They could not conquer you
You became just like me
To unlock and set free
This prisoner that was deeply wounded and redeemed
The me I could not see
Everybody wanna be like you
They want power and praise like you
But see there is no god like our God
There's no one like you
Who gave their life like you?
And who paid our price like you?
See there's only one god that's our God
There's no one like you.
Some may worship things
But what joy do they bring?
They try and hide the stains
But can they set us free?
See where would we be
Without Calvary
A king upon a tree?
So the whole world can see
You became just like me
To unlock and set free
This prisoner that was deeply wounded and redeemed
The me I could not see
Everybody wanna be like you
They want power and praise like you
But see there is no god like our God
There's no one like you
Who gave their life like you?
And who paid our price like you?
See there's only one god that's our God
There's no one like you.
[2x:]
Healer, father, savior
Counselor, friend, provider
You was, is and forever
That's why I just wanna be where you are
I'll travel life with you no matter how far
[4x:]
Hey, hey, hey
Became just like me
To unlock and set free
This prisoner that was deeply wounded and redeemed
The me I could not see
Everybody wanna be like you
They want power and praise like you
But see there is no god like our God
There's no one like you
Who gave their life like you?
And who paid our price like you?
See there's only one god that's our God
There's no one like you.
There's no one like you,
There's no one like you,
There's no god like our God
There's no one like you.[8x]
