Comoros President Azali Assoumani was slightly wounded in a knife attack Friday, the presidency said, adding that the attacker had been arrested.

“The President of the Republic Azali Assoumani was slightly wounded by a knife while attending the funeral” of a well-known religious leader, it said in a statement.

“His injuries are not serious, and he has returned home. The attacker is in the hands of the security services,” it added.

Government spokeswoman Fatima Ahamadael told AFP that the attack happened in Salimani-Itsandra, an area on the outskirts of the capital Moroni.

“Thank God, his life is not in danger,” she said, declining to give further details.

Witnesses told AFP that the attacker was a 22-year-old with no criminal history, who had ed the army in 2022. He was dressed in a boubou, and was in the room with the religious leader’s body, as mourners were paying respects, they said.

We all know the religion of the attacker, but, let's pretend we don't know for the peace of Nairaland.

That's why I laugh at this unenlightened people we have here who complains about the presidents security and our bogus it is.....the you know what a president of a country means ,what the institution represents.

To you know what manner of upheaval the murder of a president would cause in this country.....we still haven't recovered from the 1966 coup.....thats what the president's security must be taken seriously...... whoever occupied that seat is at war every second he is there.
