A young girl who sells groundnut in the vicinity lost three of her
sisters who are in the same line of trade with her to the bomb blast.
She escaped by providence as a “strange man” bought all her groundnut
five minutes before the bomb went off, a situation that made leave her
sisters behind.
May the souls of all the dead today rest in perfect peace.
