An eyewitness, who introduced himself as Musa Ali, revealed that he had narrowly escaped death during the blast:
“I am a truck conductor and my truck was on the queue. I was walking towards Folawiyo Junction when I heard the explosion. I thought it was an earthquake. When I looked up I saw a large ball of fire at the spot where I was to buy food and a woman in front of me was badly injured,” he told to Vanguard.
