‘I didn’t know armed group was coming to Lahad Datu’


KOTA KINABALU: The son of the late self-styled Sulu sultan Esmail Kiram has told the High Court that he had no advance knowledge of the armed intrusion at Kampung Tanduo in Lahad Datu that was led by his uncle Agbimuddin Kiram.

Datu Amir Bahar Hushin Kiram said the only reason he had come to Semporna six months prior to the February 2013 intrusion was to await his father who was supposed to go to Kuala Lumpur.
