Kwara State government on Thursday spoke on the demolition of the structure it recovered from the family of former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, calling on the people of the state to remain calm and peaceful.
It assured that it would be guided only by facts of the matter and not be drawn into emotional outburst targeted at distracting the public from the issues at stake.
“While the administration is focused on restoring sanity to the state after years of barefaced impunity, we will do so within the limit of the law,” the government said in a statement issued by Alhaji Murtala Olanrewaju, Commissioner for Communications, Kwara State.
The government confirmed the demolition as it explained that attempts by some persons to provoke government’s agents on lawful duty were resisted by the security agents who exercised the highest level of restraint and professionalism.
According to the commissioner, contrary to the claim that the state government was served court papers on the matter, no court paper had been served as at the time the government took steps “to preserve what lawfully belongs to the people.”
