President Buhari, who was contesting the Presidency at the time, had later said he was the target of the bomb attack, which resulted in the death of scores of people.
Reflecting on the incident in the documentary, President Buhari said Kwankwaso, who was governor of Kano State, at the time, gifted him the vehicle he was travelling in when the blast occurred.

According to the President, “I think Kwankwaso was being generous. He gave me an armoured Land Rover vehicle. He said I should use it because he believed the competition I was going on involved people who would like to eliminate me.
“I was going to Kano from Kaduna in that jeep and a vehicle wanted to overtake us but my escort stopped them and they detonated the bomb.
“When I looked, I saw pieces of human beings. None of us in the vehicle were injured.
“But somehow I saw blood on me because of the number of people killed outside by the bomb,” President Buhari said.
