God really watches over his own.
I was to follow the military to Sokoto- Zamfara and Katsina on a two day working visit to write a report on the military activities there. I was quite uneasy knowing the terrorists attacks reports we get daily. I prayed all night. When we got on the plane, I had this unexplained peace, I tried to fret but I couldn’t. We travelled by road to the other states to the border towns and returned at night. On Thursday morning, when we commenced our journey from Gusau to Sokoto, the armoured tank- mrap, which led our convoy all through the journey started overheating and had to turn back while we continued without escort. The military personnel in the bus were fretting that we were in a danger zone and also they would be sanctioned for travelling with us without armed personnel. Just as the armoured tank turned back, there was gunfire. The terrorists wanted to seize the armoured tank. All through the journey, I sat right behind the driver. I want to sincerely thank God for a safe journey to the North West and back to Abuja.
