Ijeoma, Survivor Of 2002 Lagos Armoury Explosion, Celebrates 18 Years After, Reaches Out To Atiku

Ijeoma Emmanuel, who was a victim of the 2002 armoury explosion at the military cantonment in Ikeja, the capital city of Lagos State, which killed hundreds of people, is thanking God for sparing her life, as she celebrated 18 years after the sad incident.

However, Ijeoma’s kid brother was not that lucky, as he was killed in the unfortunate blasts, leaving her as the only surviving child of their parents.

Now 22 years old, Ijeoma, in marking the 18th anniversary of the blast on the microblogging site, Twitter, via her handle, thanked God, for changing her story, asking former Vice President Atiku Abubakar to help broadcast her story as she copied him in her tweet.

“Today mark’s 18 I escaped death!But God changed my story (27/1/2002) during the bomb blast that happened in Ikeja cantonment when I was just 3+years old, that took the lives of millions of souls including that of my kid brother 😭😭and left me the only surviving child.”
