The Elders Committee in Kwara state have disclosed that the ongoing prosecution of highly placed individuals in the country by the federal government was a strong signal to the international community that corruption and indiscipline would no longer be condoned in the country again.

In a statement issued by the committee in Ilorin, Kwara state capital on Satursday signed by Alhaji Abdulrahman Gold (Kwara central), Chief Yekeen Obalowu (Kwara South) and Hon. Ezekiel Kolo (Kwara North) the elders advised those facing trial over corruption charges to allow courts to do their work instead of making frivolous comment about their prosecution.

The elders also said, "inspite of pressures from several quarters, President Buhari has remained true to his promise to rid the country of corruption, no matter whose ox is gored.

For the first time in this country, we are witnessing a genuine, systematic approach to anti-graft war. As elders, we have watched helplessly as corruption in highly places has wrecked unimaginable havoc on our communities and the future of our children."

The statement therefore urged those that had been allegedly indicted to face their trials so that the law courts can determine either they are guilty or innocence at the appropriate time.
