Nigerians React As Terrorists Attack Buhari’s Convoy In Katsina
Nigerians have reacted to the terrorist attack on the convoy of President Muhammadu Buhari in his home state of Katsina on Tuesday evening.
Naija News earlier reported that security operatives and an advance team heading for Daura, Buhari’s hometown, ahead of Sallah, were attacked near Dutsinma in Katsina.
In a statement by the president’s spokesman, Garba Shehu said that his principal was not in the convoy at the time of the attack.
The presidential aide, however, disclosed that the attack was repelled by gallant presidential guards.
However, it was learned that an Assistant Commissioner of Police in Katsina State, Aminu Umar Dayi and another police officer were killed by the terrorists during the attack.
“The Presidency has described as sad and unwelcome, the shooting incident near Dutsinma, Katsina State, at the convoy of cars carrying the Advance Team of security guards, protocol and media officers ahead of the President, Muhammadu Buhari’s trip to Daura for Sallah.
“The attackers opened fire on the convoy from ambush positions but were repelled by the military, police and DSS personnel accompanying the convoy.
“Two persons in the convoy are receiving treatment for the minor injuries they suffered. All the commissioner, staff and vehicles made it safely to Daura,” Shehu said in a statement.
Following the development, some Nigerians took to Twitter to express their views regarding the sad incident.

In one night, terrorists have attacked the convoy of President Buhari's advance team in Katsina & the Kuje Prisons, in Kuje Area Council of Abuja.
This is a few days after the attack in Shiroro where several military personnel were killed.
We cannot continue like this.

Again do you know how crazy this is? Have you seen the convoy of a governor? Not to talk of the advance team of a president? Knowing the security situation of the state it wouldn’t be the regular security but they still attacked it. pic.twitter.com/VkHwB7wrmt

Bandits attacked Buhari’s convoy tonight. Let’s not even discuss the casualties. Bandits had the courage to attack the number one citizen’s convoy. Have you seen Buhari’s convoy? What kind of confidence do these people have? And you guys still want to vote Agbado man? Sigh
