How I escaped assassination – Buhari


Former Nigerian leader, 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, 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.
 NigerianEye gathered that scores of people were killed in the second bomb blast near a bridge in Kawo. Numerous people, including a security aide to Mr. Buhari and two others in the ex-general’s convoy, sustained varying degrees of injury.

A top security source disclosed that the Kawo bus stop explosion happened as Mr. Buhari’s convoy was passing through the area. He said the ex-head of state, who is a top official of the opposition All Progressives Congress (APC) as well as a staunch critic of President Goodluck Jonathan, was returning from a funeral in Zaria at the time of the explosion.

No group has claimed responsibility for the high-profile attack, but a security operative in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, said the explosions were likely the handiwork of the extremist Islamist group, Boko Haram.

  20. Jonathan is the brain behind boko haram. It's part of his strategy to give the opposition bad name so as to keep himself in office. As commander of the armed forces of the nation, he has failed to descalate the situation because he and his party are benefitting political and financially from the crisis.

  25. I am sure some pple are completely living wit an empty head but full of sentiments. they don't ve the slightest in-depth knwldg on the boko haram but are fast at accusing others for their failure. pdp has failed woefully and looking for where to lay blames to cover their gross failure. it is unfortunate that some few pple ve been deceived into this trick. it is a pity that even gej does not understand the boko harams very well. he is living on deceptive giving to him by his hungry employees that do not have truth in their credentials. how can he fight those he does not understand them and is unwilling to understand them. lives on lies and evil keep growing. I am sure some of them around gej do not understand that with the kind of mentality they are running this country is indirectly supporting the activities of the boko harams. those that they ve completely believed in their deception were the ones behind boko harams if and only if the boko harams can have bodily contact with them, they would have been dead and forgotten pple. U.S and many other countries understand the boko harams even better than our president. no body is safe in the hand of the bh except those that identify with their ideology and struggle which is completely devilish and far from God. may God open ur understanding and close ur eyes to unprofitable sentiments thereby encouraging the boko harams. u can be a victim wherever u are. so don't wish pple evil. I wish Nigerians safety and the strength to overcome the evil that has befallen us. together we can win this war. we need leadership at work and not to polarise us for failing to adapt quickly to tackle a threatening challenges.

  31. He said he will make Nigeria ungovernable. BH started. After his statements. High profile politicians data and names Were Found by soldierd at the bauchi forest near sambisa. He was in a Bomb-proof CRV. His aides were not killed but injured. (Hmmmmm) I smell PLAN B for the Gen. My Question is, Why sacrifice your Innocent kinsmen to stage an ?attack On your life?. But the truth is: An Overly ambitious person can do anything.

  33. The Problems we are having today all over the world is mostly caused by people from the north!!!!. They want to rule the world. But they are only helping the devil to bring his agenda to manifestation. My only prayer is that Christians will realize this and wake up to be instruments for God in these endtimes. If our forefathers have not rebelled against God in the case of the amalekites when God told them not to spare anyone of them, even to their lifestock,things would have been different.But they went ahead to marry their women, what are we seeing today,The IsIs in Iraq is now beheading christians, threatening to destroy American plant their flag in the white house,exactly what satan tried at the beginning,wanting to overthrow God. But he saw the awesome power of the Lord. And now he is using all devices available to scare and frustrate God's children. We are in the last days.
