Latest reports coming in from northern Nigeria suggest that Nigeria's former Head of State, Gen Muhamadau Buhari was the target of one of the bomb attacks that happened in Kaduna on Wednesday, 23 July, 2014.
Sahara Reporters reports that a source close to Buhari informed that a second bomb explosion that rocked the Kawo bus station in Kaduna today appeared to have targeted Buhari's convoy.
It was gathered that the retired general survived the attack but three of his aides and security personnel traveling with Buhari to Daura, his hometown, were confirmed injured in the afternoon blast.
The source said that the bombers had trailed the former head of state's convoy and detonated the bomb as the convoy neared a bridge in Kawo.
Commenting on the tragic incident, Jasper Azuatalam, Chairman, Buhari Vanguard, informed that the retired General was in good condition, adding that he was only shaken up by the trauma of the attack.
"Three of General Buhari's aides were injured this afternoon in the explosion at Kawo," Jasper said.
