The Kwara State Government has said the late Olusola Saraki’s building, popularly called Ile Arugo (old people’s home), was demolished before dawn yesterday to avoid confrontation.

 

There were reports that some women had planned a protest against the revocation of the land where the building was located by the state government.

 

The enforcement team of the state government arrived at Ile Arugbo about 3am for the demolition exercise with some initial resistance.

 

Kwara State Commissioner for Communications, Murtala Olanrewaju, in a statement described the planned protest as needless.

 

He also clarified that the state government was not served any court papers on the property he noted meant for the civil service clinic.
