Bomber pretended to be drunk –Tyokasi
Tyokasi, a 22-year-old student of the National Open University of Nigeria, said,   “I am   studying Business Entrepreneurship and Management.
“On that fateful day, I just crossed over to buy corn   because I was a bit hungry. I bought the corn   but when I turned back, I saw the   man (bomber) driving a Toyota Sienna and   trying to get into the plaza through the exit gate. The security men told him to go back and follow the right way but he was behaving as if he was drunk.
“Within seconds after I left that point, I heard a big bang and found myself on the ground.   My right leg   was affected.   Presently, I can’t stand with it.
The bomber bought newspaper from me –Ojeh
Nineteen -year-old   Ojeh said the bomber first bought a newspaper from him and asked irrelevant questions before leaving to enter his vehicle.
“One man wearing caftan came to buy a newspaper from me and was asking me irrelevant questions.   Even when I wanted to give him his change, he wasn’t ready to collect it. He kept asking me irrelevant questions. If I answer him, he would laugh and ask another question. Afterwards, he left and entered his vehicle close to the exit gate of the plaza. It was not long after he left that   there was an explosion and I saw myself on the road before the police came .”
 I saw corpses everywhere – Ademola
Twenty four –year-old Ademola, who is a fashion designer, also said the bomber   insisted on going into the Plaza through the exit gate.
He added, “When he (bomber) was challenged by the security men at the exit gate, he insisted on going ahead. As he bent his head towards the Sienna that he was driving,   I told my friend that we should get away from there.
“Within a few seconds, there was an explosion. Many people died and that is why I give thanks to Almighty God. I saw many corpses on the ground. Heads, hands and legs littered   everywhere.
