Bandits have attacked Beri town in Bobi district of Niger state, burning down a police station and killing more than 13 people, including a police officer in the process.
The attack was reported by the Niger State Emergency Management Agency in a memo on Monday barely a day after about 200 students were kidnapped from a school in the state.
