Assault On Protesters ‘Antithetical To Our Values’…Police Should Smoke Out Culprits-Gov Abdulrazaq
Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq of Kwara State has expressed outrage at a footage showing some hoodlums attacking women protesters in Ilorin near the under-construction Government House gate during the Christmas holiday.
The governor in a statement issued in Ilorin and made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Rafiu Ajakaye said the assault on the protesters, whatever the circumstances, is unacceptable and should never have happened.
‘Peaceful protest is a democratic right. The women are within their right to express their views. We, therefore, distance ourselves from the incident as it does not represent our values as a government. We call on the police to find the attackers and bring them to account.
The government, meanwhile, is clearly not standing aloof on security matters. Just on Saturday, December 27, 2025, the governor personally led the passing-out parade held for armed forest guards whose mandate includes flushing out kidnappers and terrorists from our forests.
This is in addition to heavy deployment of security forces, among other investment, to secure our communities’ the statement said-Team@orientactualmags.com Do you have any information you wish to share with us?
