Armed men attacked the convoy of Hon. Jafar Damisa, a member of the House of Representatives representing Borgu/Agwara Federal Constituency in Niger State, on Tuesday morning.
The lawmaker was reportedly on his way to Babana to meet with constituents when the gunmen opened fire on his convoy. Details about possible casualties or injuries remain unclear at the time of this report.
Security operatives have not yet issued an official statement, but local sources said the attackers ambushed the convoy along a rural route frequently used by travelers in the area.
The incident adds to growing concerns about insecurity and frequent armed attacks in parts of Niger State, where bandit groups have been active in recent months.
Further updates are expected as authorities respond to the situation and confirm the condition of the lawmaker and his entourage.
