Nollywood actress, Nkiru Umeh, has revealed how her son escaped death in the March 15 Abule-Ado pipeline explosion in which she lost her home and shopping complex.
The Egg Seller star revealed that her son would have suffered the same fate as her neighbours, who lost their lives in the explosion if she hadn’t stopped him from attending the first mass of the day as he had planned to.
She wrote, “On Saturday evening 14th of March,this boy came home from school, Then on that black Sunday 15th of March, he dressed up to attend the 1st mass
“But I have a rule in my house, no one goes to church late unless I didn’t see you leaving. So that Sunday, he didn’t wake up on time, mass was meant to be 6 am and he was about leaving at 6 am I stopped him and told him to wait and attend 8 am Mass
“He stayed back and left with us for 8 am mass. That was the miracle behind him not being in that house.
“If he attended the 6 am mass, he would have been back home just like my beautiful young couple neighbors that died…”
On May 18, Nkiru revealed that she was doing her best to recover after the tragic incident.
“Road to recovery. Putting what happened on that black Sunday behind me and forging ahead. Been doing this for a week now…,” she captioned a video of herself taking a walk.
