Senate President, Bukola
Saraki has described the robbery incident in Offa, Kwara State that led to the
death of ten persons as a despicable act.
DAILY POST had reported
that four persons were killed and several others injured after suspected
robbers attacked a popular commercial bank in Offa, Kwara State.
Saraki in a statement on
Friday morning assured residents that no stone will be left unturned until the
perpetrators of the heinous act were caught and brought to justice.
The statement reads
“Yesterday’s savage attack on unsuspecting citizens and establishments in Offa
LGA, that led to significant loss of lives and injury is a despicable act
committed by cruel individuals.
“Make no mistake, there
will never be any valid grounds or rationale behind such violence that has left
many families without their loved ones — and one more community in grief and
shock.
“Last night, I spoke to
Governor Ahmed to express my condolence on the lives that were lost in the
attack, and we both agree that no stone will be left unturned until the
perpetrators of this heinous act are caught and brought to justice.
“Moving forward, it is also
important that we all work together to ensure that this does not reoccur. We
all must co-operate at various levels to increase the security of our
communities.
“I pray that the souls of
those that we lost yesterday are granted places amongst the righteous ones. My
prayers and support will continue to be extended to all the affected families,
and we will remain relentless until everyone who planned or carried out this
attack faces the full wrath of the law.”
