On the 22nd of February, after returning from school, David was home alone washing the dishes when he heard the sound of the entrance door open. He quietly peeked from the kitchen and saw three unknown young men In their living room. David waited to observe their intentions and soon realized that they were robbers. He quietly watched as two of those robbers headed for their bedrooms while one stayed back in the living room, looking out for the others. The two came out with laptops and other valuable items carefully kept in a sac. On their way out, they also stopped and picked other household items such as the DVD player, satellite decoder and N95, 000 belonging to David’s father. David trailed the men quietly as they left the house.

Mohammed and his mother were at the New Road, Sabon Gari Park, about to embark on a journey on the day of the infamous park bomb blast that shook the entire nation. Meanwhile, Mrs. Blessing who strapped her baby to the back, as well as other passengers headed for Benue State were standing at the ticket sales point when the explosive went off. As a result of the impact she fell unconsciously to the ground and by the time she regained consciousness her baby and luggage were missing. In the middle of the chaos, Mohammed also lost contact with his mother, while also scampering for safety; he saw when Mrs. Blessing fell unconsciously to the ground with the baby strapped to her back. Mohammed instinctively ran back to the direction of the baby who was panic-stricken and seriously crying, he realised that if the baby had been left for another few minutes, unthinking passengers who were also running around for survival may mistakenly run over the baby.
