Over 400 witnesses passed out Friday at a Jehovah’s Witness convention in Angola after they were attacked with toxic gas.

About 7,000 worshippers were at the venue on the outskirts of Luanda for the weekend-long convention, a local news source, Portal de Angola reports.
At least 43 victims were rushed to the hospital. No deaths have, however, been recorded.

 A witness, Abraham Kituxi, told Portal de Angola that his sister-in-law was one of the first to collapse after telling him that she had smelled something foul.

More people began collapsing right after, creating chaos and panic at the venue.

Police and firefighters were called to the scene to assist in sending the victims to the hospital.
Meanwhile, three people have been arrested over the incident, with four others at large.

Police have not been able to identify the toxic substance but indicated that it was in containers of 750 thousand liters spread throughout the venue.

  37. Jehovah will always watch and protect his loyal worshippers no matter the odds.
    Our hearts go out to our dear brothers and sisters who have been affected. Remember , you are not alone.

  38. Jehovah will never abandon his loyal servants. Dear brothers, stand firm. And may you never give up, Jehovah will surely see you through this ordeal.

  39. We have never experience this in our conventions till today this tells UA that GoG of Magog is trying and ready to move the troops to attack but Jehovah Almighty will never let his faithful servant perish.

  40. Are we surprised? No. We live in a time where natural affection is non existent for some people -Rom 1:30-31 and 2Tim 3:3. We obey the command to forgive freely. We will continue to love our neighbours by sharing the Good News of the Kingdom with them..,that’s everlasting life (John 17:3). Jehovah will act in His own time.

  42. Oh Jehovah help our dear sisters and brothers to stand firm and protect them from all evil doing! You’re the Mighty One!! You’ll never forsake your faithful servants in any way! I wish them a speedy recovery!

  51. In all circumstances Jehovah will prove himself Almighty. And the whole earth will see what a Mighty Clag is He….. Love u all brothers and Sisters

  52. Jehovah would surely help our brothers and sister the courage to continue the race of life please don’t give up no matter the outcome

  53. To clarify : Jehovah can and does protect his people as a whole , but since we live in a world under Satan’s control , some faithful ones may lose their lives in any circumstance . Just recently , one of our sisters died in the terrorist attack in Finland while engaging in the ministry . Jehovah does watch over us , but it is our relationship with him that is protected , to the extent that , even if we should pass away , he will remember our faithful course and restore our lives in Paradise , where no more wickedness will exist . Satan will never wipe out Jehovah’s people and we will never suffer permanent harm . Psalms 37:9-11 , Malachi 3:16
