How I escaped assassination – Mohammadu Buhari

General Mohammadu Buhari (rtd), Wednesday,
said he narrowly escaped an assassination
attempt on his life after he was targeted by
suicide bombers in Kawu area of Kaduna.
In a statement, Buhari said: “I am personally
involved in a clearly targeted bomb attack today
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”, he said.
