Police nab 4 suspects linked to invasion of Niger Senator’s residence

Four people have been arrested after an invasion of the home of Senator representing Niger East Senatorial District, Senator Sani Musa.
The suspects were among the armed men thought to be assassins who invaded the Senator’s residence along the popular old Alheri Clinic Road, Tunga area in Minna, the state capital on Saturday night.

It was learned that the Senator, who was in Minna on Saturday morning, had left for Abuja after attending the official ceremony for the coronation and presentation of Staff of Office to the 2nd Emir of Kagara, Alhaji Ahmed Garba Gunna (Attahiru 11) which took place in Kagara.

The suspects were said to have secured the services of two people who were fully armed and in military uniform to accompany them to the residence of the Senator.

In a statement, police spokesman Abiodun Wasiu said the incident was not an assassination attempt, adding that it was a case of criminal conspiracy and impersonation.

He said the suspects confessed that they were mobilised to search the residence of the Senator on the basis that he kept foreign currency.
