Terrorists in President Muhammadu Buhari’s state of Katsina have become emboldened showing it off with ambush attack on the Presidential advanced team of security guards, protocol and media officers ahead of the President’s trip to Daura for Sallah.
The terrorists were said to have opened fire on the convoy from ambush positions but were repelled by the military, police and Department of State Service personnel accompanying the convoy.
Two persons in the advanced team convoy were injured and were receiving treatment for the injuries they suffered.
“All the other personnel, staff and vehicles made it safely to Daura,” a Presidency statement said.
The Presidency described the incident as sad and unwelcome.
This was not the first time that President Buhari’s protocol team/convoy had come under attack. The President’s convoy was once bombed by Boko Haram terrorists but he escaped.
