Armed bandits on Tuesday invaded Kagara the headquarters of Rafi local government area of Niger State during which they stormed the Emirs palace.
The bandits were said to have raided the town on 20 motorcycles with three of them on each of the bikes.
THISDAY was told by a top traditional title holder from the emirate that “We are lucky the Emir is not in the town, he told me he was traveling”.
THISDAY learnt that the Emir was in Minna for the convocation of the New Gate College of Technology.
It was not known if anyone was killed or abducted because the communication network in the town has been jammed for the security operatives to carryout their operation in the area.
Kagara and environs have witnessed relative peace since the release of the Salihu Tanko Islamiyya School girls about a month ago.
The police could not be reached to confirm the story
*Details later.
