Gen. Buhari has released a statement on attack on his convoy
in Kaduna, describing it as a clear assassination attempt. Find the
statement he signed himself 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”
