President Muhammadu Buhari claims that an armoured vehicle that was sent to him as a gift saved his life after an assault with a bomb in Kaduna in 2014.
This was something that he discussed in a documentary on Sunday called “Essential Muhammadu Buhari,” which was shown.
After numerous explosions rocked the Kawo district of Kaduna state in July 2014, President Buhari’s convoy was disrupted as a result.
Buhari, who was running for president at the time of the bombing, subsequently claimed that he was the intended target of the assault, which resulted in the deaths of a large number of people.
In the documentary, President Buhari reflects on the tragedy and reveals that the car he was in when the explosion happened was a gift from Rabiu Kwankwaso, who was serving as governor of Kano at the time.
I think Kwankwaso was being generous. He gave me an armoured Land Rover vehicle,” Buhari said. “He said I should use it because he believed the competition I was going on involved people who would like to eliminate me.
“I was going to Kano from Kaduna in that jeep and a vehicle wanted to overtake us but my escort stopped them and they detonated the bomb.
“When I looked, I saw pieces of human beings. None of us in the vehicle were injured. But somehow I saw blood on me because of the number of people killed outside by the bomb.”
