Gov Bago reacts as robbers attack Niger Emir’s palace

Niger State Governor, Mohammed Umar Bago, has condemned the robbery attack on the cashier of the Emir of Minna, Ibrahim Sani, at the palace.

Bago, in a statement issued on Wednesday by his Chief Press Secretary, Bologi Ibrahim, described the incident as unfortunate and the height of disregard to traditional institution.

The governor said his administration would not fold its hands and allow criminals inflict pains and sorrow on innocent people in the state.

He said: “This is highly unfortunate to have this kind of situation not just in the state capital but within the Emir’s palace.

“My administration will not condone this act, as such security agents should do everything possible to arrest those involved in the criminal act.

“I charge the security agencies to investigate and fish out the criminals with the view to prosecuting them.”

Bago, who sympathised with the Emir of Minna, Umar Farouk-Bahago, over the robbery attack, prayed God to grant quick recovery to the injured.
