3. The attack on President Buhari’s advance convoy team in Katsina.

The presidential aide on media and publicity has released a statement confirming the attack on the advance team of President Buhari’s convoy in Katsina State. Narrating the incident, Garba Shehu revealed that the attackers opened fire on the presidential convoy from ambush positions but were repelled by the gallant security escort.

For me, this attack on President Buhari’s convoy left me dumbfounded and I began to wonder the kind of courage these gunmen had for them to attack the advance convoy of the number one citizen of the country. This attack exposes how insecure the country and the common Nigerian have become because if the President’s convoy could be attacked despite the huge security details attached to his advance convoy team, then what is the fate of the common Nigerian that moves around without any security detail?
