The official vehicle of the Chief of Army Staff (COAS) LT Gen TY Buratai was involved in an accident at Jere town along Kaduna road on Sunday evening, around 6:pm, but the COAS was not in the vehicle when the incident happened.
According to the statement released a few hours ago by the Nigerian Army, the staff car was in a convoy along with other vehicles when a lone civilian vehicle veered off its lane and rammed into the car.
We do not know if the incident was a deliberate one or just a mere accident, as information released did not give details of what might have caused the civilian vehicle to veered off and hit a convoy of the COAS LT Gen TY Buratai , but it was reported that the ADC to the COAS LT Gen TY Buratai who was in the vehicle sustained some minor injuries and has since been evacuated to a nearby hospital for medical attention.
…investigation are still ongoing as to what might have caused the accident, as the Nigerian Army released some photos from the accident scene with this statement:
