Slimzjoe: It happened on a Sunday. Ikeja cantonment Cdss had to relocate for a while. Not just for a day. The students could no longer school at the barracks during that period. So they were relocated to Anthony village. |

The day i lost the hype for the army as a kid. Got worse when friends and family died that day. Very careless act. Was in church or so when we heard the blasts. Windows vibrating in Ipaja, tables shaking. They've still not beaten the impression till today. Smh 1 Like |

psalmson001: Yes o. Even as far as Ibadan, rumours was they wanted to remove obasanjo because he was on a state visit to Lagos then. I think he just left Lagos that day sef But it was people jumping into the canal thinking it will help them from the bombs that caused much deaths and not actually the bombs. It was a panic situation. People were even raped in the melee that followed. 1 Like 1 Share |

Nazgul:It was indeed a very terrible day, I could remember the ground vibrating even though we lived far away from there. 9PM we watched the News and saw that alot of people died because they were scared, dead bodies littering all over the canas and bushes. Omo that's why I frown against war, war no good at all. |

Slimzjoe: You're wrong, he's right. The blasts were between 5-7 in the evening. I don't think it even lasted till 8 at night but the catastrophic damage had already happened by then. |

The whole of Lagos felt the impact on that black Sunday, see dead bodies inside canals not because of shrapnel but panic. |
