The panel investigating the unlawful sale and disposal of government-owned assets in Kwara State has recommended the prosecution of two former governors, Bukola Saraki and Abdulfatah Ahmed, and others indicted in its report.
Hussein Buhari, the chairman of the white paper panel on the unlawful sale of government’s properties from May 29, 1999 to May 29, 2019, said this during the submission of a report, detailing its findings.
“Former Governor Bukola Saraki, his successor, Abdulfatah Ahmed, and other former government officials named in alleged economic sabotage against the state through sales of public assets to cronies at giveaway prices should be prosecuted in court, a white paper committee has urged Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq,” the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Rafiu Ajakaye, said in a Thursday statement.
