Pastor Avanti Jonas and his wife, Alice of
Hephzibah church located in Kado area of
Abuja have every reason to be thankful as they narrowly escaped death by the whiskers in the Abuja bomb blast which occurred yesterday, and which left 21 people dead and 17 injured, according to the police.

According to National Enquirer the Pastor and
his wife who got married last year, 2013 had
gone to the Emab Plaza where the blast
occurred before it escalated and spread to
Banex to buy some few items. Seeing that they wanted to get just few things, they both
agreed that the wife sits back in front of their
Toyota jeep which was parked directly opposite the plaza while the Pastor hurriedly went in.

No sooner the Pastor left the shopping center
than the bomb exploded, the man of God who
luckily escaped was already in tears thinking
that his wife had been killed in the blast.

According to an eye witness, the pastor had
even started mourning his wife, crying
uncontrollably at the sight of a corpse which
looked like his wife until he saw the watch on
the woman left wrist, he was later convinced
the corpse was not his wife.

Meanwhile, the wife who was gathered to have
escaped death by squeezing herself through
the window of the jeep to get out also thought
had husband had died, not until they finally
saw each other.

The car was almost a total wreck with the
windshield shattered as a result of the blast.
The couple are however, very grateful to God
for sparing their lives.

Coordinator, National Information Centre, Mr
Mike Omeri, disclosed yesterday that one of the suspected bombers of Emab Plaza on Aminu Kano Crescent in Wuse 2 in Abuja was killed by soldiers killed and arrested another .
