Terrorists Abduct Another Monarch In Plateau

A traditional ruler in Plateau State, North Central Nigeria, His Royal Highness, Aminu Derwan, has been kidnapped after terrorists attacked his palace in Panyam, Mangu Local Government Area of the state.

Gatekeepers News reports that A resident of Panyam community, Moses Garuba, confirmed the incident.

Garuba said, “It was last night around midnight that the bandits, who were more than 20 and heavily armed, surrounded the district head’s palace in Panyam.

“Because his house was not fenced, some villagers who saw how his house was surrounded by strange people alerted other members of the community through a community bell. But immediately the bandits heard the bell, they started firing gunshots and eventually went away with the traditional ruler, leaving the community helpless.”

This development is happening scarcely 48 hours after terrorists kidnapped the village head of Zira, Alhaji Yahaya Abubakar and his son.

They were reportedly kidnapped in Toro Local Government Area in the state.
