On July 23, 2014, President Mohammadu Buhari on 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.
