Boko Haram Tried To Kill Ex-Head of State Muhammadu Buhari

Nigeria is at a dangerous stage today that even the president, Goodluck Jonathan, is afraid to travel to Chibok to assure the parents of the abducted girls that their daughters would return. Everybody is afraid!

Former Head of State, Muhammadu Buhari has described how he narrowly escaped a bomb attack on his convoy on Wednesday in Kaduna. In a short statement, Buhari said he was the target of the bomber:

“I was personally involved in a clearly targeted bomb attack today along Ali Akilu Road, Kawo-Kaduna at about 2:30pm on my way to Daura,” Buhari said. “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..."

The vehicle conveying the former number one citizen in Nigeria was badly damaged as a result of the impact.
