Nigeria’s presidency reports that a convoy carrying the security team of President Mohammadu Buhari has been attacked by gunmen.
Although President Buhari was not present the attackers shot a number of the convoy’s vehicles, injuring 2 people in the process.
The attack serves as another another reminder of the pervasive insecurity in the most populous nation in Africa.
Over the weekend, Mr. Buhari will travel to his hometown of Daura in the state of Katsina to observe a Muslim holiday.
According to a statement from the presidency on Tuesday night, the gunmen started shooting at the security team’s van near Daura, which also contained DSS personnel, presidential protocol, and the press office.
