The All Progressives Congress (APC) led government of Kwara state have started the much envisaged probe of the immediate past President of the senate and former governor of the state Bukola Saraki.
The probe is being carried out through the state House of Assembly which on Tuesday directed its Committee on Land, Housing and Urban Development to investigate alleged transfer of the ownership of a four-bedroom chalet to Saraki.
The building named Alimi Lodge is located on Alimi road in GRA, llorin, the state capital.
According to the House, the action followed the raising of the issue under matters of urgent public importance by Omotayo Awodiji (APC- lrepodun) who while raising the matter, said that the lodge was transferred to Saraki under the state’s Pension Law for Governors and Deputy Governors.
The lawmaker said the ownership of the lodge was not transferable as it was meant for an incumbent Chief Executive of the state.
The Speaker, Danladi Yakubu- Salihu, while reading the resolutions of the House, said there was the need for the House to investigate the matter, adding that it was necessary to put an end to all forms of abnormality in the state in order to enhance the well being of the people and fast track the socio-economic development of the state.
The committee was mandated to report back to the House on Thursday.
