The two bombs which exploded at different times and different locations in Kaduna on Wednesday, July 23, was reportedly targeted at a former Head of State, Mohammadu Buhari and a prominent Islamic cleric, Dahiru Bauchi. The two men escaped unhurt.
Buhari, who expressed shock over the assassination attempt on his life, said yesterday that how he survived the bomb attack on his convoy remains a mystery.
Following the attack, former Niger-Delta militant Alhaji Mujahid Asari Dokubo shared his thoughts on the incident, saying the Kaduna attack was a plot to cause calamity in Nigeria and push the military to take over from the President Goodluck Jonathan.
