Some residents of Offa in Kwara
state, under the aegis of the Association of Concerned Offa Indigenes Home and
Abroad, yesterday described the invitation of the Senate President, Dr Bukola
Saraki, by the police as God’s answers to their prayers.
The police had on Sunday invited
Saraki over the confession of the five principal suspects in the April 5 Offa
robberies in the state.
The police said the confession of
the suspects indicted the Senate President.
The residents during their
anti-Saraki protest on Tuesday marched from the Iyeru-Okin African LGEA Primary
School, Offa, through Ibrahim Taiwo Road, to Idi-Ogun.
They turned back from Yidi
Praying Ground to Owode Market, and then marched to the Palace of Olofa of
Offa, Oba Mufutau Gbadamosi, who was on lesser Hajj.
They displayed placards with
different inscriptions and sang songs in support of the police invitation to
Saraki.
Some of the inscriptions read,
‘Injustice is dead, justice must prevail,’ ‘RIP to the victims, Saraki is
questionable,’ and ‘We cannot trade on injustice.’
Spokesperson for the group,
Muyideen Babalola, in a speech titled, ‘The wind has blown, the back of the
fowl has been exposed,’ said Saraki’s invitation by the police was an answer to
their prayers.
He said, “The obnoxious act of
April 5, 2018, when armed robbers came to Offa, killing over 50 of our dear
sons and daughters and some police officers, has taken a toll on us.
“In whatever we do, our past has a way of
catching up with us like a shadow. God has answered our prayers in Offa. Our
cries have been heard.”
