 Terrorists attack Buhari’s advance team, kill two policemen

The President, Major General Muhammadu Buhari (retd)

On Tuesday, suspected terrorists ambushed the car convoy carrying the Presidency's advance team of security guards, protocol officials, and media officers near Dutsinma, Katsina State, killing two policemen in the process.

Before the President, Muhammadu Buhari (ret. ), visited his hometown for Sallah, Presidency officials were traveling to Daura.

Garba Shehu, the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, confirmed the incident in a statement but did not provide a specific number of casualties.

"The Presidency has described as sad and unwelcome, the shooting incident near Dutsinma, Katsina State, at the convoy of cars carrying the Advance Team of security guards, protocol, and media officers ahead of the President, Muhammadu Buhari's trip to Daura for Sallah," according to the statement titled "Gallant presidential guards repel attack on advance team ahead of President's visit."

The military, police, and DSS employees who were with the convoy were able to repel the terrorists who began fire on it from ambush positions.

"Two convoy members are being treated for minor injuries they sustained. All other personnel, employees, and vehicles arrived at Daura without incident.

However, the Police Area Commander for Dutsinma, Aminu Umar, and another person were reported to have died in the ambush by the Katsina State Police Command's spokesman, Gambo Isah, in a separate statement.

Isah left out from his statement that the presidential team was the target of the attack.

"Today (Tuesday), July 5, 2022 at around 11.30am, a distress call was received that terrorists, numbering over 300, were ambushing ACP Aminu Umar, Area Commander, Dutsinma, and team, while on clearance operation of recalcitrant bandits/terrorists, in Zakka Forest, Safana Local Government Area of Katsina state.

"As a result, the Area Commander and another brave person were killed in a cross-fire of gunfire.

"On behalf of the officers and members of the command, the commissioner of police, Idrisu Dauda, sends his sincere condolences to the family of the dead and prays to almighty Allah to lay their bodies to rest in Jannatul Firdausi.

 THOUSANDS OF ANGRY ATAP STUDENTS HAVE PREPARED A PROCEDURE, REFUSE TO JOIN THE STRIKE. Thousands of students of the Abubakar Tatari Ali College of Science and Technology in Bauchi organized a peaceful protest in front of the college. Thousands of students have organized a protest following the signing by the Union of Voucher State College Teachers (jap) to go on a warning strike for two weeks. The students protested against the welfare of Shiga strike considering that some part of the students have started to write the second term and final term of diploma and NCE exams. Later, the leaders of the Students' Association (SUG EXCOS) tried to talk to the students, but the situation failed because they did not give them a chance to talk to even a single person among them. This protest is the first that the Atap students have ever organized to show their anger and disapproval of going on strike with the teachers union. We hope that God will put an end to this problem of strike through...
