Etomi explained that she and her family were in the UK for two speaking engagements when the incident occurred.

“If even one single detail of that day were different, I wouldn’t be here today. I shudder when I think about it,” she added.

Reflecting on the experience, Adesua Etomi stated that it heightened her awareness of God's presence and grace.

"Like a map, I can literally look back on that day and trace how His hands were all over that situation. There is nothing anyone can tell me — God is real!
She encouraged her followers to live in kindness and thankfulness, saying: “Let’s be softer, kinder, gentler, forgiving, patient, loving, and peaceful. I will never take another day for granted, neither should you.”
