Saraki backs Kwara govt to outlaw thuggery
A former Kwara State governor, Senator Bukola Saraki, has said he will support the state government to outlaw lawlessness and restore peace to trouble spots.
The senator representing Kwara Central spoke yesterday against the backdrop of the recent fracas in Ilorin, the state capital, when he paid a condolence visit to victims of the street disturbances.
Saraki had donated N3 million to heads of the five families, whose homes were torched during the fracas at Agbarere and Ita-Ajia areas of Ilorin.
At Agbarere Quarters, the heads of the five families said three persons died and several property destroyed.
Saraki gave each affected family N500,000 while the head of the family at Ita-Ajia also got N500,000.
The senator also donated N250,000 to the Magaji-Aare of Ilorin, Alhaji Aremu Subair, whose vehicle was vandalised by the hoodlums.
He said: "On the basis of that, whatever needs to be done - either law or executive action - I am sure the state will do that. We will support anything that will ensure the sustainability of this level of peace and tranquility.
