Buhari's Wife Reacts To Alleged Assassination

Following the yesterday’s attack allegedly targeting the former head of State Gen. Muhammadu Buhari, his wife expressed her shock over what many call the assassination attempt.
Two explosions rocked Kaduna on July 23, leaving at least 82 people dead, according to the latest information. The second blast was reportedly aimed at killing Gen. Buhari. The official, who is also a senior member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), narrowly escaped death and later narrated his ordeal.

Prominent Nigerian politicians, including President Goodluck Jonathan, former Vice President Atiku Abubakar, strongly condemned the attack and sympathised  with the families of the deceased.

Following the alleged assassination attempt, Buhari’s wife Aisha Buhari spoke in a conversation.

"I never believed that one can kill himself to kill another person in Nigeria. I have heard of suicide bombers in Nigeria, but I never believed, until the attack on my husband yesterday. It is scaring. The experience was traumatising."


Meanwhile police confirmed that 25 people died in the first explosion, however on the second blast official information is yet to be provided.
