According to reports, the armed men cruelly attacked a Hilux in the emir’s convoy and killed the driver, three policemen, a senior guard to the king, and one Dan Amal, who is an uncle to the Emir.
The Emir, who before his appointment as emir was a Major in the Nigerian Army, reportedly escaped the attack.
