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. Mohammed ran out of the park along with the baby and headed home where he found his mother covered in shock, after frantically searching for him in the crowd without success.
