Efforts by News men to reach the Niger State Police Command failed at the time of filing this report. The spokesperson of the command, SP Wasiu Abiodun, could not take his call when contacted.

This incident comes a few days after terrorists attacked a government school in Kebbi State, abducting at least 25 students.
