What an unforgettable experience. That day was on a Sunday. The bomb explosion was felt at Festac Town all the way from Ikeja. I remember our windows vibrated and almost shattered. RIP to those who lost their lives at Oke-Afa canal

We felt it at Ota. My mum went for her family at Mafoluku Oshodi that year. The coaster bus she was in passed in front of the cantonment shortly before the explosion started.

When we heard the explosion, we thought it was thunderstorm at first till we switched on our tv and tuned to AIT and started getting updates.

I know, right?!

I was in Lagos at the time. That first round of explosions shook the very foundations of our small apartment. Information didn't easily circulate at the time, so first round of public speculations suggested a massive robbery operation.

Thank God for social media now.

The rumors that spread in my our area that day was that a planned coup was going on, and the military were about to overthrown Obasanjo

It wasn't the bomb that killed majority though. It was the panic that made many ran into canal unknowingly at Oke-Afa cry

You were not yet born then or you were probably still a toddler when it happened.

This is a simple Cash out by this Government, when the Bomb Blast happened then, Tinubu was the Governor of Lagos State. Baba couldn't cash out despite Billions allocated towards the exercise, now it's time for him as the sitting President.

If not stupidity, after years of the incident, is it that previous Government (Both Federal and State), past GOC of the Ikeja Cantonment, past COAS didn't do anything concerning that.

This is Corruption at it's peak.

I can imagine the Billions of Naira that will be allocated towards this Exercise.

It is well.

Lol.

You're very correct. That was actually the second storyline we had to deal with. It was a crazy period. My dad immediately gathered all of us for devotion..😂. I don't know if he thought rapture was beginning.

Ask those that were around then to explain how bad it was in case you still live in doubt.
