Gunmen suspected to be bandits attacked the convoy of President Muhammadu Buhari Katsina State according to a statement released by the Senior Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu.
Shehu explained that a convoy of cars carrying the advance team of security guards, as well as protocol and media officers ahead of the President’s trip to Daura for Sallah celebrations were attacked near Dutsinma in Katsina.
According to the statement, the attackers opened fire on the convoy from strategic positions but were repelled by operatives of the military, police, and the Department of State Services (DSS) accompanying the convoy.
Shehu also mentioned that two persons in the convoy sustained minor injuries and were receiving medical attention while the rest made it safely to Daura.
This attack is the latest in the recent series of criminal activities by terrorists who have relentlessly terrorised communities in different regions of the country.
