For one, a 3-year-old boy named Kabiru Sasore was interviewed by the The Independent He revealed that he was afraid of going back to school to study due to the impact of the accident.

According to him, he had been eating in class when the incident happened. Just as he was digging deep in his food, he heard a sound which he thought was a bomb.

However, he was quick to find out that it was not a bomb, but a building collapse. To this effect, he said: “I was eating in my class when my school collapsed, I heard a loud sound, and our school shook and all of us fell on each other. I was afraid and I didn’t want to go to school that day, I later saw a caterpillar. Though I am fine but my back is still painting me and my neck.”

For this reason, he was scared of going back to school because he did not want a repeat of such an incident. Even more, his aunty, Balikis Muhammed, said he was discharged from the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH ) on Thursday. She added that he is still trying to regain his health and has an appointment in the hospital next Thursday to this effect.

She had more to say: "His mother, Idera, is not feeling fine due to the shock from the incident; she is currently on admission in the hospital. When I saw him in the hospital last Thursday, when he woke up in the hospital, what he told us was that they bombed his school, everybody shook and it was not fair. He was shouting the name of his friend from the same school who was by his bed side, that one was asleep but Kabiru continuously shouted his name and was banging on his bed till that one woke up, opened his eyes, shouted Daddy."
