Niger State Police Command has confirmed the burning of the zonal headquarters of the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Kontagora.
The church, which is situated along Federal College of Education Road Kontagora, was also burnt down 10 years ago by hoodlums who warned that the church building should not be completed.

He disclosed that the cause of the inferno is yet to be ascertained, as investigation into the unfortunate incident is ongoing.
