The minister

Arugbo, a house in Kwara State claimed by the Saraki family.
The state
commissioner for Communications, Malam Murtala Olanrewaju who spoke on the
demolition done by the state explained that the “action was carried out in the
early hours to avoid any needless confrontation.”
“Attempts by
some persons to provoke government agents on lawful duty were resisted by the
security agents who exercised the highest level of restraint and
professionalism,” the commissioner said in a statement in Ilorin.
“Contrary to
the claim that the state government was served court papers on the matter,we
state that no court papers has been served as at the time the government took
the steps to preserve what lawfully belongs to the people,” he added.
In her own
reaction, Gbemisola Saraki, through her Special Assistant, Titilope Anifowoshe,
issued a statement whicj read in part: “so many things have happened this
year,in fact right up to the very dying hours of the year, but we will continue
to take brave and faithful steps.
“We have a
history and we are proud of that history, may Allah forgive the sins of all our
dearly departed and may He make us worthy representatives of all that they
stood for,” she added.
