Mrs. Monica Solomon, who suffered severe burns in the May 1 Nyanya blasts, has alleged being abandoned at the Gwagwalada Specialist Hospital. Her story:
On May 1, I was going to work. I alighted from commercial motorcycle and decided to buy mango at Nyanya bus stop, after which I was waiting to catch a bus to town.
Not quite 10 minutes after, I turned and saw a man standing behind me while I was on queue.I became apprehensive and my spirit told me to move away from there. In fact, my spirit did not just like the way the man was standing. I could not ascertain whether he was a passenger or not. Two minutes later, I heard a blast.
When I heard the blast I shouted ‘Jesus Christ’. I became unconscious, the next thing I felt was somebody pushing me out of fire.He kept pushing me until it got to a point and I said ‘let me see the person pushing me’. When I opened my eyes I didn’t see anybody. At that point, I jumped up, and was shouting Jesus Christ’.
