00:00I was in town from as early as eight, they did their peaceful demonstrations, they went round the streets for six times, but it was peaceful.

00:10At one-thirty, that is when things went wrong.

00:14My vehicle was a KBA-E Platz.

00:20I don't know the value because I'm not a valuer, but the Lord will provide.

00:26You know, the Lord says He's the provider and the protector.

00:32So, I leave the rest to God.

00:37Did you bring your luggage here or did you park it?

00:40I usually park here because this is part of the parking.

00:44And I paid one hundred shillings.

00:47We pay every day one hundred shillings to the accounting for parking fees.

00:52So, this was a safe place. In the morning when I came, I found two armed policemen there.

00:58So, I knew this place was safe.

01:00In the evening when I was going home, unfortunately, I met with a man who is not a youth.

01:08And he had a very long stick with a rug tied at the end.

01:13And he had put petrol in it.

01:15This vehicle was still...

01:17It was still emitting smoke.

01:19He took out his motorcycle and put petrol in it.

01:24I went and told the man to take me because at that time we couldn't even take a picture

01:31because the crowd was wild.

01:33But they were not our youth here.
