Governor Umar Bago of Niger State has mourned Ahmed Yusuf, the village head of Galla in the Borgu Emirate of the state killed by bandits.
In a statement on Wednesday by Ibrahim Bologi, the spokesman for Mr Bago, the governor said killing of a monarch in his palace is insolence by the bandits.
The deceased was also a brother to the minister of state for agriculture and food security, Aliyu Abdullahi.
