尼日利亚教堂房顶坍塌，一百多人丧生

Rescue workers continue to look for survivors in the debris following the collapse of a church roof in southern Nigeria, killing at least 100 people. Some reports put the death toll as high as 160.

Hundreds of people were in the church, which was still under construction when the roof collapsed Saturday in the city of Uyo.

Local officials played down the number of victims. State police spokeswoman said 27 had been killed and 30 injured.

Several local officials were in attendance when the roof fell, including Udom Emmanuel, the governor of Akwa Ibom state, who escaped without injury.

Governor Emmanuel tweeted that he personally supervised rescue operations at the scene. He has declared December 11 and 12 as days of mourning.

A spokesman for the governor said the state will conduct an investigation into the collapse.

这座教堂位于乌约市，事发时教堂里有几百人。这座教堂还在修建之中。

当地官员对遇难者人数轻描淡写，州警方发言人说，27人死亡，30人受伤。

房顶坍塌时，几名当地官员也在参加礼拜，包括阿夸伊博姆州州长艾曼纽，他安然脱险。

艾曼纽发推文说，他亲自在现场监督救援工作，并宣布12月11日和12日为追悼日。

州长的一位发言人说，政府将对坍塌事件的起因进行调查。
