Injured survivors of Monday’s terrifying suicide bomb attack at a Kano bus station that killed not fewer than 60 persons have continued to narrate their ordeal even as they are grateful and lucky to be alive.
The Monday attack saw two suicide bombers ram their car into the bus station in Kano, setting off a huge explosion that hit five buses, the police spokesman Magaji Majia said.
Witnesses described hearing multiple blasts and seeing wounded victims in bloodied clothes flee the area as authorities cordoned off the scene.
“I was boarding the bus to Lagos when I heard a huge explosion,” Abdulaziz Baban-Lamma, a 47-year-old trader, said from his hospital bed.
The blast, he said, left him with severe injuries to his abdomen and other survivors ran to his aid when they saw his condition. He later underwent emergency surgery.
“May Allah curse whoever was behind the act,” he said.
Another survivor Magawata Goje, 45, was selling dried meat (Kilishi) at the station when the suicide bombers struck.
“Something sharp hit me under my right ear,” he said. “Blood gushed out and I was drenched in my blood.” Continuing, he said when he regained consciousness, he “could see many people burnt to death.”
Meanwhile, traditional Leaders Forum in Kano has ordered a sit at home on Wednesday (today) as a day of mourning and for prayers and fasting for all the non-indigenes who were victims of the bomb attack.
In a statement, in Kano on Tuesday, all non-indigenes in Kano were requested to lock up their shops and other places of business to enable them to offer prayers for the repose of the souls of the departed.
