”It Was An Assassination Attempt” – Buhari’s Press Release On Escaping A bomb Attack In Kaduna

Three Bombs were exploded in Kaduna today which resulted in the loss of over 100 lives. General Muhammadu Buhari narrowly escaped being labelled a dead man today after a suicide bomber blew up his covoy in Kaduna (Thats his car above). Read his press release below.

“I was personally involved in a clearly targeted bomb attack today along Ali Akilu Road, Kawo – Kaduna about 2:30pm on my way to Daura. 

The unfortunate event, clearly an assassination attempt, came from a fast moving vehicle that made many attempts to overtake my security car but was blocked by my escort vehicle. We reached the market area of Kawo where he took advantage of our slowing down and attempted to ram my car and instantly denoted the bomb which destroyed all the three cars in our convoy.

Unfortunately, when I came out of my vehicle I saw many dead bodies littered around. They were innocent people going about their daily business who became victims of mass murder.
Thank God for His mercy, I came out unhurt but with three of my security staff sustaining minor injuries – they have been treated in hospital and discharged.
Signed: General Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd) GCFR
