Miss Mary Modu, a victim of the first bomb blast in a motor park in Nyanya in the Federal Capital Territory, has urged the Minister of the FCT, Senator Bala Mohammed, to redeem the pledge of N1m and an artificial leg made to her. One of Modu’s legs was amputated apart from the surgeries she underwent on her chest and back due to the incident.The 27-year-old, who was until the April 14 blast, a trader selling clothes and shoes, has just been discharged from the Wuse General Hospital, Abuja.
It was learnt that she was the last of the victims to leave the hospital due to the severity of her condition. Modu spoke with our correspondent shortly after a visit to her by the Knight of Saint Mulumba, Abuja Sub-Council of the Catholic Church, led by Dr. Frank Odafen. A sum of N73,000 was donated to her during the visit. Modu appealed to the Minister to come to her aid by providing the artificial leg so that she could walk again.
She said shortly after the blast, Mohammed had paid a visit to the Wuse General Hospital and had promised her a cash donation of N1m and an artificial leg to assist her to walk again.
The victim added that the Minister had promised that the cash would reach her the following day after his visit, adding that the money had yet to reach her.
She said, “I was involved in the first bomb blast in Nyanya. Before then, I was a businesswoman, selling clothes and shoes. I was on my way to the market on the fateful day. I had bought a fare ticket and was standing on the queue to board a vehicle when the blast occurred.
