During the week – Thursday – a
twin bomb rocked Jos, the
Plateau State capital, killing
about 12 students of the
University of Jos (UNIJOS).
The explosions occurred
between 4pm and 6pm around
t
he university’s main campus.
The first explosion happened at
the popular Bauchi Motor Park
while the second occurred near
a military checkpoint reported
to be just about 100 meters
away.
Amina, Hauwa and Aishat Mudi
(three sisters) who survived the
blast have narrated their
experience to PUNCH
newspaper.
Amina Sani Mudi, a 19-year-old
100-level student of Medicine
at the University of Jos said, “I
had just finished my Chemistry
paper, which I had from 3pm to
6pm and it was raining.
As I walked to the gate of the
university, I called my sisters
who were at the School of
Forestry to buy one of the JME
recommended books.
I walked down and joined them
as they were already waiting
for me in front of Bauchi Park.
We stood and were waiting for
a tricycle to take us home.
“As we stood waiting for a
tricycle the next thing we
heard was a loud explosion.
Initially, I thought it was
thunder because it was still
drizzling.
But somebody shouted, ‘bomb,
bomb,’ and we ran to a nearby
pharmacy for safety.
I saw a girl whose hands were
mutilated and she was calling
her father.
We saw pieces of human flesh
all around the place. The
thought on my mind was just to
run for safety.
If you say you are a true
Muslim, no religion, even
Christianity, preaches that
anybody should kill another.
I want to appeal to the
terrorists to stop because God
does not sanction killing.”
Hauwa Sani Mudi, 21, the eldest
of the sisters said “I thought
that it was an explosion from a
transformer until we heard
somebody shouting, ‘bomb,
bomb.’
I ran with my sisters to a
nearby pharmacy because we
were told that the soldiers
could start shooting and we
tried to contact our father. We
did not even know that we
were wounded.”
While the youngest of the
sisters, Aisha, said , ‘’I am
thankful to God for sparing our
lives. He is a good God.’’
