Buhari’s convoy bombed in Kaduna, 3 aides injured
The convoy of a former Head of State and Chieftain of All Progressives Congress (APC), General (RTD) Muhammadu Buhari, was caught in the second explosion that rocked Kaduna on Wednesday, witnesses, his party, and close aides have said.
While Mr. Buhari escaped unhurt in the explosion that occurred at the busy Kawo market area of the city, three of his security aides were injured and rushed to hospital.
A close aide of Mr. Buhari said the bomber, who drove in a Toyota Sienna vehicle, rammed into the general’s convoy and detonated the explosive-laden vehicle.
He said the opposition leader survived the attack, but his vehicle, a Toyota Land Cruiser, and another one behind it were badly damaged.
“The General survived and he has already been evacuated in a Golf Volkswagen vehicle,” he said.
He also said Mr. Buhari’s damaged vehicle was towed away by emergency workers.
