Members of the Ilorin Emirate Elders of Thought have called for the prosecution of the Chairman, Senate Committee on Environment and Ecology, Dr. Bukola Saraki, over the recent stampede in his family house at Ilofa, Ilorin, Kwara State.

Many people died while scores were also injured during the stampede when Sallah gifts were being distributed.

The group, in a letter by its counsel, Mr. Muritala Sambo of Murtala Sambo and Co. to the state Attorney General and Commissioner of Justice, which was made available to journalists in Ilorin on Thursday, demanded an immediate commencement of criminal trial of Saraki.
It said such loss of human lives had been recorded in the past during events organised by Saraki.

Sambo said, “We have the instructions of our clients to demand the immediate commencement of criminal trial of Sen. Bukola Saraki over the avoidable gruesome murder of over 50 of our client’s kinsmen on Wednesday October 17, 2013 at the private residence of the Senator along Ilofa Road in Ilorin.

“Our clients are alarmed, as thousands other public spirited Nigerians, by the cruelty and (alleged) raw insensitivity of Sen. Saraki and his cronies in the Peoples Democratic party to the victims of the avoidable stampede that occurred at the ‘Charity House’ along Ilofa Road in Ilorin.

“They are therefore, by virtue of their preeminence in the community, interested in the prosecution of such a criminal suspect(s) for murder, conspiracy to murder, manslaughter and grievous bodily injury(as the case may be) with the hope that such a decisive action will deter a recurrence of such in the future.
