Gen. Buhari releases statement on today's attack, says it was an assassination attempt




General Buhari has released a statement on today's 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.
T he 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. Continue... 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.
T hank 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.
S igned: General Muhammadu Buhari (Rtd) GCFR”
