3. Fort Patiko
Fort Patiko also known as Samuel Baker’s Fort, was a military fort built by Samuel Baker in Patiko, Gulu District. The Construction of the fort was completed on December 25, 1872.
After Baker left in 1888, the fort was used by Emin Pasha and Charles Gordon while they served as Governors of the Equatorial Province of the British Uganda Protectorate.
The fort was initially constructed by the Arabs as a slave collection center. Sir Samuel Baker took over the fort from 1872 to 1888 when he was sent on a mission by the Queen of England to stop the slave trade which was being carried out by the Arabs slave traders. The fort then became the headquarters for Emin Pasha and Gordon, the respective Governors of the Equatorial Province of the British Protectorate. Slaves were a key trading item for the Arabs and were captured from northern Uganda, Gondokoro in Sudan and other areas. Ocecu Hill became a sorting ground for slaves. Healthy-looking ones were forced to trek from Patiko, through Sudan across the Red Sea and sold in Egypt
