Story from Saleh INUWA, Kano
A palace guard (Dogari), Sama’ila Abubakar Rimin Tsiwa, has been dismissed from the services of the Zazzau Emirate Council in Kaduna State for allegedly raping a lady on a mission to the palace.
Abdullahi Aliyu Kwarbai, the Media and Publicity Officer of the Emir, in a statement, said: “Sama’ila Abubakar Rimin Tsiwa, a palace guard, has been dismissed with immediate effect from the services of the Zazzau Emirate Council for raping a lady on a mission to the palace.”
According to the statement, the palace guard lured the lady, who was preparing for a wedding and came to seek assistance from the Emir, Malam Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli, through him to a location with friends where they gang raped her, instead of taking her to the Emir.
The statement further explained that the Council had directed the police to speed up their investigations and ensure the prosecution of the culprits without delay to face the full wrath of the law.
The emirate council promised to follow up with the case to ensure justice was done for the lady.
In a related development, a title holder working in the palace was arrested and detained when he raped a small boy that went to the palace on an errand in Zaria.
