I was almost bombed near Kawo bridge in 2014, says president Buhari
President Muhammadu Buhari today recounted the 2014 bombing that rocked Kaduna state and left over 80 people dead.
The president is in the state to inaugurate some projects initiated by the Nasir el-Rufai-led Kaduna government.
A combined team of heavily armed soldiers and the police were deployed to strategic locations across the city ahead of the president’s visit.
Speaking after he inaugurated the remodelled Kawo overhead bridge along Zaria road, the president narrated how he narrowly escaped being killed in the area eight years prior.
“They wanted to blow me here, but my escort somehow stopped them,” he said.
“Before we came to this bridge, they (the bombers) became so desperate and there was a small market or something like this here.
“They exploded the device. God protected us and here I am again.”
