KRT protests alleged Govt’s contemptuous action on Ile Arugbo

A group of youths in Kwara state, under the aegis of Kwara Rescue Team (KRT), has staged a peaceful procession against alleged contemptuous action of the state
government in respect of ongoing construction work on a disputed land in Ilorin against a subsisting court order.

It would be recalled that a Kwara State High Court sitting in Ilorin had restrained the Kwara State government from commencing any construction works on the disputed parcel of land known as Ile-Arugbo, reportedly belonging to the late strongman of Kwara politics, Dr. Abubakar Olusola Saraki, pending the final determination of the case.

Led by the Convener and Secretary General of the team, Comrade Adio Odunjo Olando and Comrade Bello Olanrewaju, respectively, the youths told journalists that the action of the state government was dangerous and capable of igniting avoidable public unrest at this critical moment in the country.

KRT implored the Kwara state government to cease all construction activities at Ile-Arugbo and respect the court’s directive and the undertaking signed not to do anything on the land pending the final determination of the case.

“We, as young professionals, condemn in the strongest terms the ongoing construction work by the Kwara State Government on Ile-Arugbo. This action directly contravenes a subsisting court order and undermines the judicial process, inviting anarchy and a breakdown of law and order in our dear state. This must be resisted by all well-meaning Kwarans and Nigerians”.

The group also accused Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of using officers of the Kwara State Police Command to execute alleged contemptuous behaviour against the existing court order.

“Armed police officers are providing security for the construction workers on the disputed land. The police, as an institution of government, should not join an adventure aimed at undermining the judiciary and plunging Kwara State into a political crisis.

“This presence of police officers on disputed land could ignite other parties to take the law into their hands, leading to avoidable unrest and further destabilizing peace in our state”.

They called on the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Kayode Egbetokun, to ensure that the integrity of the police is not tarnished, saying that the police must not be seen as acting against the rule of law, which is the core mandate of the police in any functioning democracy.

On the forthcoming local government elections in the state, the youth stakeholders called on the presidency to urgently address issue of alleged impunity and disregard for the rule of law allegedly demonstrated by the state government.

“We call upon all well-meaning Kwarans, Nigerians, and the international community to join us in condemning these actions. We urge the judiciary to enforce its orders and uphold the sanctity of the court.

“We also implore the Kwara State Government to immediately cease all construction activities at Ile-Arugbo and respect the court’s directive and the undertaking signed.

“The Kwara Rescue Team remains committed to promoting political integrity, economic development, social advancement, and unity in Kwara State. We must stand up against vindictive politics, driven by envy, motivated by jealousy and practiced without integrity”.
