How I survived fatal attack by bandits - Emir - Premium Times Nigeria

After a few days at the hospital, following a fatal attack on his convoy along Kaduna-Zaria road, the Emir of Potiskum, Umaru Bauya, on Friday, returned to his palace in Yobe State.

The emir said he was specifically pained that he had to trek in the bush for almost two hours, trying to escape from the sporadic gun duel that lasted for about the same time.The Secretary to the Yobe State Government, Baba Wali, led the state government delegation, which included the Acting Head of the State Civil Service, Mohamed Nura, and some members of the State Executive Council, to commiserate with the Emir.

“Thanks, be to almighty Allah for sparing our lives. First, the experience we had was after Jazi. There was a commotion. We stopped and after about twenty minutes, the traffic continued to flow from both ways and we felt the road was cleared. “As the shooting was going on, we decided to abandon our vehicles and take to safety. God in His infinite mercy led me to escape the danger zone. The gunshots continued for almost two hours. I continued trekking into the bush until when the sound of the guns was a bit far off from me. That is how I found myself. It’s God mercy that helped me to escape the danger zone.

“I thank the medical doctor who is in charge of that hospital. He checked me and reported that I do not have any injury. He gave me treatment and until my fatigue was down. I told them I want to leave but they reluctantly released me to leave.

Uptil now there's been no press conference by Buhari ethno-religious security forces.

In Kaduna State communities have been reported to have suffered over 6 hrs of gun fire during attacks leaving homes looted, burnt, farms.. The situation is driving citizens in Kaduna State in especially rural Communities into extreme poverty. We have lost two monarchs already.

Just imagine for once if Jonathan was still President and this No of people were killed and the Emir targeted.The short devil of Kaduna would have been all over twitter blasting GEJ.But no no Cos Sai Baba is on the wheel

How did this old man escape from the hands of bandits

Where is Musa? Musa please go and close that gate for me.Nonsense!
