among those who
died in the blasts miraculously survived Abuja
blast which
claimed over 100 lives.
As relatives searched for their missing ones at
Asokoro
General Hospital in the aftermath of the
Nyanya bus park
bomb blasts in Nigeria's capital on Monday, a
10-month old
baby girl called Goodness caught the eye of
many.
It was gathered that Goodness (as she was
identified by a man
who later showed up and claimed to be her
father) was picked
up among the mangled remains of the victims
of the bomb
blast by emergency workers.
The only visible injury on her was one of her
eyes which was
swollen.
Further investigation revealed that the
mother of the baby
was one of the petty traders at the Nyanya
bus park who was
killed when the bomb went off early
yesterday morning.
It was gathered that the mother of Goodness
was holding the
baby at the time of the incident.
Goodness who miraculously did not sustain
much injury in
the blast is still being catered for by nurses
at the Asokoro
General Hospital as at Tuesday morning.
The nurses said the man who showed up as
her father will
have to obtain appropriate police report
backed up by all the
necessary evidence before the child can be
released to him.
