The body of a top official of Rajah Mudah Agbimuddin Kiram has been recovered by police in Sabah, Malaysian media reported Tuesday.
The Malaysian defense minister said Wednesday that 13 alleged members of the Sulu “royal army” were killed in the air and ground assault conducted by Malaysian security forces on Tuesday.
The members of the Sulu “royal army” are continuously on the move and are masquerading as local residents, according to Malaysian police.
The next in line to the title of Sultan of Sulu, Rajah Mudah Agbimuddin Kiram, said Saturday he and the remaining 224 followers in Sabah were ready to face death after Malaysian police forces attacked and killed 10 of them and wounded four others on Friday.
Undaunted amidst mounting pressure from both the Philippine and Malaysian governments, Sultan Jamalul Kiram III, the acknowledged leader of the Sultanate of Sulu and North Borneo insisted that his royal decree that authorized the presence of his younger brother, crown prince Rajah Mudah Agbimuddin Kiram and the combined civilian and armed followers in Lahad Datu, Sabah, Malaysia, stays.
