An eyewitness, Philip Kambai, who escaped the blast, said
“I just finished cutting my hair and was walking out then I heard boom! I fell down but I managed to get up. Then I saw fire. Immediately, I went behind and climbed a fence and in the process, I sustained injuries. One person also climbed the fence, but I doubt if the barber and two others came out”.
