The police command in Zamfara has arrested 18 suspects over demonstration, leading to destruction of property, including the Emir of Shinkafi’s palace.
This is contained in a statement by the command Public Relations Officer, SP Muhammad Shehu on Sunday in Gusau.
“Youths carrying dane guns, cutlasses and sticks destroyed the Emir of Shinkafi’s palace and two other houses in Shinkafi town.
