A car belonging to Milele FM radio presenter Jalang'o could be the reason gospel singer Mercy Masika survived the Tuesday terror attack at the Dusit complex in Nairobi.
Jalang'o through his Instagram page shared a phone screenshot of his conversation with Mercy that shows she had a salon appointment at the building.
"Your car blocked us yesterday while I was going to my salon at Dusit for my 3:30 pm appointment. God used your car to delay us," she wrote to Jalang'o.
The "Mwema" hitmaker and Jalang'o were in the CBD few minutes before the attack.
"So @mercymasikamuguro and I are involved in an upcoming consumer promotion and so we were invited for a meeting at the client office... I was in another meeting so I get to client meeting after Mercy!" posted Jalang'o.
He explained that the parking lot was full which forced him to double park his car hence blocking Mercy's car which delayed her in the city central business district.
" Driving in, the client parking is full so I am forced to double park blocking other cars! I walk into the meeting and client has finished briefing Mercy and she is in a hurry for her saloon appointment She hurriedly leaves only to find her car blocked so they call me to move my car but I give out my car key so there is a bit of delay!" he recounted.
He goes on to recall that; "When she (Mercy Masika) leaves not more than 20mins later news of the attack at Dusit where she was going for her appointment quickly spread! Waaaaa! When she shared the message I just thanked God! #GodAboveEverything."
According to Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet the attackers at Dusit were shot dead and 21 people killed while several others were injured.
