The Edo State NNPP’s Governorship Candidate, Dr Azemhe Azena, has expressed his sympathy and heartfelt concern with the President of the Loveworld Nation Incorporated, also known as Christ Embassy, the highly esteemed Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, over the fire incident that gutted the Church’s ultra-modern auditorium at Oregun-Ikeja, Lagos on Sunday morning.

In a statement by his media team on Monday, Dr Azemhe Azena was quoted to have expressed shock over the sad news but was, however, grateful to God that “no life was lost in the strange inferno”.

“It is painful to see such a magnificent edifice go up in flames. My prayers are with the Christ Embassy family worldwide, especially the President of the Ministry, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome”

Meanwhile, in his address to church members on the incident, in an ongoing international Cell Leaders Conference in Asese Camp located along Lagos- Ibadan Expressway on Sunday, Pastor Chris told them not to be sorrowful but to be thankful to God who is capable of replacing the burnt facility with a better one.
