The Kwara state house of assembly
has commenced investigation into the alleged transfer of the ownership of a
four-bedroom chalet to Bukola Saraki, former senate president.
The house, on Tuesday, directed
its committee on land, housing and urban development to investigate the
transfer and report back in two days.
The building named Alimi lodge is
located on Alimi road in GRA, llorin, the state capital.
The issue was raised under
matters of urgent public importance by Omotayo Awodiji, assembly member representing
lrepodun constituency.
Awodiji told the house that the
lodge was transferred to Saraki under the state’s pension law for governors and
deputy governors.
He said the ownership of the
lodge was not transferable as it was meant for an incumbent governor of the
state.
Danladi Yakubu-Salihu, speaker of
the house, said there was the need for the house to investigate the matter.
He said such action will put an
end to all forms of abnormality in the state.
Saraki, a two-term governor of
Kwara, is also being investigated by the Economic and Financial Crimes
Commission (EFCC).
