A 75-year-old survivor of the November 28 multiple bomb explosions in
Kano, Alhaji Mohammed Isa Tiga, yesterday gave a bloodchilling
account of the attack that rocked the city’s Central Mosque, saying he
survived by Allah’s grace.
Speaking to Sunday
Sun
at the Accident and Emergency Unit of the Abdullahi Wase Specialist
(Nassarawa) Hospital, the frail-looking man recounted that those
responsible for the blasts came in a Toyota Sienna space wagon just as
the Jumat prayers were about to start.
He recalled seeing three of them, adding that while two sat at the back of the vehicle, only one was seated at the front.
According to him, as soon as they arrived, they stepped out of the car
like normal worshippers and looked every bit like worshippers until
they began to operate.
“I was close by. I saw the three of them alight from the car. A few
minutes after they walked away from the vehicle, the bombs exploded,”
He
recalled that confusion ensued. “As people tried to run away, the
young men pulled out their guns and were shooting at those struggling to
escape from the blast.”
Isa Tiga suffered injuries in the confusion, stressing that his
survival was a miracle.He could not say what eventually happened to the
three men.
