General Buhari Opens Up On Kaduna Blast" The Kawo-Kaduna Bombing Was An Assassination Attempt On Me"

General Mohammed Buhari (rtd) admits that the Kawo-Kaduna bombing was an assassination attempt on his life.

Following the Kawo-Kaduna bomb blast which happened yesterday afternoon, General Mohammed Buhari (rtd) has said that the attack was an assassination attempt on his life.
The ACN chieftain released a statement to this effect yesterday evening where he recalled the events which led up to the July 23rd 2014 attack, stating that he and his security details escaped with very minor injuries.
Read his statement 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”
