Displaced persons who returned to see the extent of destruction on their town, for the first time, since last Thursday, also alleged that a councillor was killed in the crisis. The returning displaced persons were at Kwandere, which is also the native home of the state governor,Umaru Tanko Al-Makura, when he led a delegation to visit the displaced paramount ruler at the weekend. They said many property, including the paramount ruler’s palace, as well as grain stores were razed down in the crisis.
