Alhaji Garba Badamasi, the traditional ruler of Riruwai Village in Lame District in Toro Local Government Area of Bauchi State, was reportedly abducted and brutally murdered by suspected gunmen.
Reports indicate that the gunmen stormed the palace of the monarch on March 15, 2024, instilling fear among residents with their sporadic gunshots before forcibly taking him captive.
OSUN DEFENDER gathered that the abductors did not attempt to contact any of the family members of the late Badamasi for ransom, leaving the motive behind the heinous act shrouded in mystery.
Tragically, after enduring a day in captivity, the lifeless body of the monarch was discovered close to the village.
Villagers, desperate in their search for their traditional leader, stumbled upon his remains in the bush after spending a day in captivity.
