RICHMOUND — There was a large police presence in the Village of Richmound Wednesday morning as Saskatchewan RCMP conducted an ongoing investigation. About two hours later, RCMP announced they were holding a media availability regarding an ongoing investigation in Richmound.
Police didn’t specify what the investigation involved but self-proclaimed “Queen of Canada” Romana Didulo posted on Telegram Wednesday morning, “We have corporation police here inside the property calling out, saying get out of the trailer, you are under arrest.” Didulo then live streamed her arrest by RCMP.
Didulo and her followers have been camped out at an abandoned school in Richmound for about two years.
Two months ago, 61-year-old Richmound man Ricky Manz, who owns the compound where Didulo is staying, was arrested by Leader RMP. Police were called to assist municipal personnel at a property in the village when an altercation broke out. Manz was arrested after allegedly assaulting officers and resisting arrest.
Didulo, a QAnon conspiracy leader from the Philippines, and her supporters moved into the abandoned school in September 2023 after being pushed out of Kamsack.
