Senate President, Bukola Saraki who is also a former governor of Kwara state has reacted to the bank robbery in Offa that led to many deaths and vowed that the perpetrators would be apprehended.

He tweeted:

Yesterday’s bank robbery in Offa LGA, that led to significant loss of lives and injury is a despicable act committed by cruel individuals. No stone will be left unturned until the perpetrators of this act are caught and brought to justice.



His full statement reads:

Yesterday’s savage attack on unsuspecting citizens and establishments in Offa LGA, that led to significant loss of lives and injury is a despicable act committed by cruel individuals.

Make no mistake, there will never be any valid grounds or rationale behind such violence that has left many families without their loved ones — and one more community in grief and shock.

Last night, I spoke to Governor Ahmed to express my condolence on the lives that were lost in the attack, and we both agree that no stone will be left unturned until the perpetrators of this heinous act are caught and brought to justice.

Moving forward, it is also important that we all work together to ensure that this does not reoccur. We all must co-operate at various levels to increase the security of our communities.

I pray that the souls of those that we lost yesterday are granted places amongst the righteous ones. My prayers and support will continue to be extended to all the affected families, and we will remain relentless until everyone who planned or carried out this attack faces the full wrath of the law.

Many residents and indigenes of Offa are still in shock at what many have described as the worst robbery incidence in the town’s history.

Terrible incident. Hope you will change our security situation in this country to something better when you become President next year, by God's grace. The present government has completely run out of ideas

All hope is not lost

Blood donations needed in Offa http://www.opinions.ng/blood-donations-needed-offa-deadly-bank-robbery/

The least you can do if you live in the town or its environs. The robbery is shocking and should not be allowed to ever happen again anywhere in Nigeria. The police has to do more.

Death to the armed robbers but what is the different between your likes and those thieves. God will punish you all including Buhari.
