“Alhamdulilah for today,” Lawal expressed on social media. “I was at Bodija when the explosion took place, in fact, my ears are still ringing from the effect. Thank God for our lives. I parked to buy suya opposite that Estate but later I moved my car from Sloggers Club to the Metro Hotel on the same Osuntokun when it happened. God have mercy oo. Too many dead bodies. What exactly is going on?”
The actress’s gut-wrenching account sheds light on the utter devastation wrought by the explosion, underscoring the pervasive sense of disbelief and despair that reverberates throughout the community.
