A few people died while two others sustained injuries, when terrorists attacked the advance team of security guards, protocol and media officers,
ahead of President Muhammadu Buhari’s Sallah trip to his hometown in Daura, Katsina State.
The presidency has since described the dastardly act as a sad and unwelcome development.
This is as terrorists, again on Tuesday, ambushed and killed an Assistant Commissioner of Police ACP, Aminu Umar Dayi, in charge of Dutsinma Area Command in Katsina, following a fierce gun duel.
In a release made on Tuesday night by presidential spokesman, Mallam Garba Shehu, the presidency disclosed that a few people died, while the two persons, who sustained injuries during the attack were already receiving treatment.
But other personnel, staff and vehicles made it safely to Daura, the terse statement added.
