Gunmen invaded the Palace of Dodo of Wawa, a PhD Holder, Dr. Mahmud Ahmed, ruler of Borgu Kingdom.

The traditional ruler was abducted around 10 p.m after gunmen stormed the community, shot sporadically and went straight to his place for him.

They stormed the community in their numbers on motorcycles and picked the monarch in front of his wife.

It was gathered that the bandits, who carried sophisticated weapons, invaded the palace about 9.15p.m. and forced the Dodo of Wawa out from his apartment.

For hitch-free escape, they shot sporadically while taking the monarch away, forcing residents to scamper to safety.

A resident told The Guardian the bandits rode on 15 unmarked motorcycles.

Though, the bandits have not established contact with the palace at the time of filing this report, it was learnt that some local vigilantes in the community were already in the forests searching for their traditional ruler.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Wasiu Abiodun, who confirmed the report, stated that the Special Tactical Squad (STS) and the locals had been deployed to the area to rescue the monarch and arrest the bandits.

In a related development, 15 persons have been confirmed killed by bandits in Magami village of Shiroro Local Council of the state.

MEANWHILE, Socio-Economic Rights and Accountability Project (SERAP) has urged the Prosecutor, International Criminal Court (ICC), Mr. Karim Khan (QC), to investigate the growing cases of abduction of students in Northern Nigeria, closure of schools, and the persistent failure of Nigerian authorities to end the abduction, which it said amounted to crimes against humanity.

The body also urged him to push for those suspected to be responsible to be invited and tried by the ICC.

In the petition signed by its Deputy Director, Kolawole Oluwadare, the organisation noted: “Depriving children their right to education has severe consequences for their ability to access their fundamental rights. The severe and life-long harms that result from depriving children the right to education satisfy the gravity of harm threshold under the Rome Statute.”
