Former Senate President of Dr. Bukola Saraki has dragged the Kwara State Government to Court over the demolition of his father’s house.
He confirmed this through his Media Adviser, Yusuph Olaniyonu, confirmed to Saturday PUNCH on Friday that the suit was filed on Tuesday.
He said, “We are already in court (over the issue). The suit, No KWS/463/2019, was filed on Tuesday, December 31, 2019.”
However the Kwara State Government has said it has not been served with court summons.
The Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Rafiu Ajakaye, said while responding to Saturday PUNCH correspondent enquiry on Friday, “The Kwara State Government has not been served any court process regarding the land. If anybody claims otherwise, the question to them should then be: when was the process served and which judge has been assigned to hear the matter? As of this moment, January 3, 2020, no court process has been served on the government.”
