General Buhari has released a
statement on yesterday'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.
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. 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.
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”
