Aguek Dau Nyok was doing his work as a cab driver and never expected that his day would become a bad memory. Aguek came to Moorooka to collect some things only to see a bus with smoke coming out of it. According to Aguek, a person who is now a suspect was alleged to have been the first to exit from the front door of the bus. The driver and passengers were then trapped inside the bus.
I saw smoke coming out and I thought why don't I help this situation? I came to the back door and started pushing but it couldn't open. I decided to kick the door and that's when it opened. To help get passengers out, I stood there holding the door but I was struggling because it was pushing back toward me.
In his first exclusive interview on SBS Dinka Radio, Aguek said that his concern was to help the lives of those inside the bus. He didn't think of his own life but blames himself for not reaching the driver who was already engulfed by fire.
