The Zazzau Emirate Council, North West Nigeria says it has dismissed with immediate effect, a palace guard, (Dogari) Sama’ila Abubakar Rimin Tsiwa from the services of the emirate for raping a lady on a mission to the palace.
The dismissed palace guard was said to have lured the lady who was preparing for a wedding and came to seek assistance from the Emir through him. But instead of taking the lady to the Emir, His Highness Malam Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli, the suspect lured her to a location with friends where they gang raped her.
A statement from the Media and Publicity Office of the Emir and signed by Abdullahi Aliyu Kwarbai, said the Council has directed the Police to speed-up with their investigations and ensure prosecution of the culprits without delay.
“It also promises to follow up with the case and ensure justice done to the lady” the statement concludes.
