“From the horrible scenes that I saw with my naked eyes I have realized that life is a very delicate thing which can be lost any time, in my opinion the best thing one can do is to turn back to his creator and avoid evil ways because death is not far away from us though we aren’t sure when it will strike. Imagine seeing so many lifeless bodies before you which you are sure were alive just few minutes ago, that’s when I looked at myself and realized that I am nothing better. The sight of the young innocent children almost made me unconscious before I gathered more strength to continue,” Micah Mbuthia told Nation.
