A member of St. Theresa’s Catholic Church in Madalla, Niger State, Mr. Daniel Igbla yesterday said that he had a premonition of the Christmas Day bomb blast.

Igbla, who stayed away from the Christmas Mass, warned his children on Saturday night not to attend the Sunday Mass.

But his children attended the Christmas Day mass, which resulted in the death of one of his children, Joseph Igbla.

The deceased had just secured admission into IBB University , Lapai. He was expected to resume in January.

Speaking during a news conference at the St. Theresa’s Catholic Church yesterday, Igbla, in tears, said: “As I am here now, I am not happy. I have not been happy since the incident on Christmas Day. That day was so terrible for me.

“On Saturday, I called my children and told them not to go to church the next day because something was telling me that problem is coming.”

He went on: “On the eve of Christmas, I went to bed and when I woke up in the morning, I discovered that four of my children went to church. I came out, stood and faced the church and started thinking. I went inside again and came out five minutes later and saw some of my children coming back from church.”

“They told me ‘Papa! Papa! Happy Christmas’ and I was happy and played with them. But within a twinkle of an eye, I heard of the explosion. So, I told everybody to lie down. I later stood up and saw dust and billowing smoke. I say ‘Ah, e don happen o’. I started asking, “Where is my Joseph? Where is my Abraham?” But I was told that they were in church.

“I started going up and down. Later, Joseph was found lying in the pool of his blood. So, we took him to Lucas Hospital but before we got there he bled profusely. And we later took him to Kubwa. Before we got to Kubwa, he could not talk again. If I call him, he could not respond. That was how he died.

“The Reverend Father has promised me that the church will take care of their burial. I believe that since he died in church burying Joseph in church will make me happy. I told my people at home but they have been calling me to bring my son’s body to them. But it’s as if I don’t want to do that,” he added
