David Umaru, a former senator who previously represented Niger East, has demanded that 69 individuals were executed in an ongoing assault by armed marauders in Shiroro, Niger State.

Umaru, accused the state government for purportedly lying about the figure, proclaimed that the administration was not being honest to the general population on the actual figure of those murdered.

The ex-official, in an announcement marked by him in Minna, stated: “For the avoidance of doubt, I still reecho it that not less than 69 people were killed by the bandits, several injured and cattle rustled.

“Of this number, 55 bodies have been found while the quest for the rest of the bodies proceeds.”
