How I Escaped Assassination — Buhari

General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd), yesterday gave an account of what how he escaped death in a bomb attack apparently targeted at him in Kaduna.

Ina statement released abou six hours after the attack, the former military head of state said : “I was personally involved in a clearly targeted bomb attack today (yesterday) at 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 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 detonated 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 since been treated in hospital and discharged,” the statement by Buhari read.
