the midst of the ravaging fire after the

bomb exploded at the car park of Emab

He said:

“I had arrived at the plaza in my cab

minutes earlier. After the last

passenger alighted from the cab, I was

reversing when I heard the explosion.


My car went up in flames, and I

struggled to pass through the window

and in the process my left hand caught

fire. As I was running for my dear life,

broken glasses pierced my feet. I was

later rushed by rescuers to Maitama

General Hospital.”

the ground beside her groundnut tray,

while waiting for buyers at the entrance

of Emab Plaza, when the blast occurred.
