The Senator representing Niger East senatorial district,at the National Assembly Abuja, senator\u00a0 David Umaru had also recently appealed to the state government to put in place mechanism to halt the incessant bloodletting in the state, while disclosing that more than 400 lives were lost to attacks in his Zone alone last year.<\/p>\n

Police Public Relations Ofiicer, Niger state command of the Nigeria Police force, DSP Bala Elkana, confirmed the incident to our reporter but feared that the casualty figures\u00a0could have\u00a0been\u00a0more.<\/p>\n
