Gen.  Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) and a prominent Islamic scholar, Sheikh Dahiru Bauchi among other top politicians with Buhari narrowly escaped being killed in the twin bomb blasts which occurred at Alkali  Road and Kawo in the metropolis of Kaduna state today.

Odogwuemekaodogwu.blogspot.com reports that already a 24-hour curfew have been imposed on Kaduna metropolis following the multiple bomb blasts that rocked Kaduna state today.

Buhari was on his way out of town when the second blast occurred at about 2:00pm around a roadside market just before the overhead bridge.

Eye witness said the bomber must have been trailing behind Buhari's convoy as the explosion wrecked all the three Prado Toyota Jeeps in the convoy.

Eye witness said the bomber who was driving in a Toyota Sienna car rammed into the three vehicles by the left side, causing serious wreckage to the vehicles.

One of Buhari's aids who was with him in his official bullet proof Prado Jeep was  said to have immediately ferried the former head of state out of the vehicle to safety.
An SUV vehicle was later brought to convey him.
However,  three of his aids and his security  personnel were said to have been seriously injured in the blast.

A source who gave his name Hassan Mohammed, disclosed that the bomb, concealed in a red Volkswagen golf car parked by the road side, was detonated as the Muslim cleric convoy drove past Isa Kaita roads.
