It was a funny and scary moment for many as a man attempted to grab President Muhammadu Buhari in Kebbi State.
In the video that surfaced online, the president was posing for photograph, standing in-between governor of Kebbi State, Abubakar Atiku Bagudu, and that of Jigawa, Mohammed Badaru Abubakar, when the incident occurred, after inspecting a rice pyramid.
Godwin Emefiele, governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and Gombe State governor, Muhammad Inuwa Yahaya, were also standing in the row.

By-standers and security operatives quickly intervened, before the attacker could reach the president.
