Ordinarily, my attitude to this insidious move by the incumbent Governor of Kwara State to initiate a case of criminal liability against me in the unfortunate incident of armed robbery which happened in Offa community eight years ago should be to shrug it off and say that we will meet in court since I know I have nothing to do with the incident or any other crime for that matter.

However, I have been inundated with calls from many well-meaning Nigerians who were surprised by this turn of events. Thus, for the benefit of the general public, let me categorically state that I have nothing to do directly or indirectly with any case of armed robbery or any criminal matter, whatsoever. The Offa robbery incident was designed under the Buhari administration with the connivance of some individuals from Kwara State as an instrument of blackmail to seize political power from our group in 2019.

The case was investigated by the police team from the office of the Inspector General of Police. However, following the investigation, in two separate legal advices dated June 22nd, 2018, and August 23rd, 2018, the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) in the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) stated that there was no evidence directly or indirectly linking me to the robbery incident.

The DPP in his first legal advice stated that “For the Senate President and the Kwara State Governor, this office is unable to establish from the evidence in the interim report a nexus between the alleged offence and the suspects”. In a second report, the DPP stated that “With regards to the Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki, since there is no departure from the earlier findings in the interim report, this office is still unable to establish any prima facie case against him for any offences of criminal conspiracy, armed robbery and culpable homicide”.

Based on the DPP’s advice, four suspects were charged in court by the Kwara State Government. They were convicted at the trial court and the conviction was upheld by the appellate court. The matter is now before the Supreme Court.

Suddenly, the governor woke up after I granted my interview to Channels TV where I commented on the insecurity in the state and thought he could resurrect these baseless charges against his two predecessors. I noticed that in his propaganda plan to circulate his frivolous charges and other skewed documents as paid advertisements in the national newspapers, even before serving the defendants, he intentionally hid the DPP reports and other documents which put a lie to the charade he is perpetuating. These are deliberate efforts to mislead the media and induce them to give purchased publicity to the frame-up.

Therefore, I am under no illusion that this case was a frivolous move and an abuse of court process to embarrass my person. My legal team will definitely meet this governor in court. I believe that Abdulrahman just feels that he could still use this case to harass and defame my person by abusing the judicial process. He had tried to induce the families of the victims to initiate civil litigations against the other respondents and me, but he seemed not to be making progress with that mischievous effort because the families backed out.

I need to remind him that this vicious attack on my reputation because he enjoys the immunity of a governor is a huge joke on him. A sitting governor who is accusing his two immediate predecessors of armed robbery is only making a mockery of the institution. He is only taking the governorship of our dear state to the gutter. This is an example of dirty politics taken too far and too low. He ought to know that nobody at the national or state level is buying his claim. He is the butt of a crude joke. Many of those involved in the plot to blackmail me with the Offa robbery case have since faced the judgments of the law of karma. I do not doubt that this governor will end up the same way.

One would have thought that a governor whose state has lost over 400 lives to banditry between January 2025 and March 2026, with over 100 others kidnapped in the worst cases of insecurity since its creation, would concentrate efforts and focus attention on taming the menace by getting the bandits arrested to face justice. No. He is fixated on filing frivolous and politically motivated charges against his predecessors. This shows the dark mindset of the man who is the governor of Kwara State today. A man who emphasises dirty politics over development and security of lives and properties of the citizenry. He started working on this plot immediately after my interview on Channels TV where I flayed his lack of capacity in tackling the security crisis in the state. He thought this case would erase his record as the governor with the worst cases of insecurity under his watch in the state's history. It is an unenviable record he has sustained by his lack of capacity and ability to tackle serious issues of the state.

This is a mere act of a desperate politician who is losing control in his party and knows that his days in governance are numbered. It is the reason why Nigerians should always take into consideration the level of education of those we elect into office. For a man who never completed secondary school education, it is difficult for him to appreciate the issues involved in any matter. His level of education is definitely affecting his judgment.

Let me however reiterate my unflinching belief and confidence in the ability of the judiciary to give justice at all times and to all categories of persons, no matter who their accusers are and whatever the motivation is. I believe the judiciary will always sort out the chaff from the wheat in the various cases before it. My legal team have been fully briefed and I know this case against me will collapse like a pack of cards.

Saraki should go and argue his case in court. The boys who did the robbery and, were eventually killed extra judicially were said to be your touts. Go clear your name if you have a name to clear, and stop parroting on social Media.

All the Kwara state government assets and real estate properties that you turned into your own private properties already made you a criminal. Which upright man buys properties from state coffers in his own name, and continues to receive returns on the properties into his own personal account? Very corrupt politician.

Bukola Saraki left Government in Kwara 19years ago, yet you guys are still cry.ing.
Why can't Abdulrahman face the heavy challenges of banditry that is facing the state!

For speaking the truth?

Who doesn't know the evils perpetuated by that man in Kwara?

You're wishing me hung for exposing the truth? Wonders shall never end.

People like you are the reasons why corrupt politicians can never repent.

I wish I have more than 4 rooms to upload even more damaging screenshot evidences from the web.

And to Lifestone, have you that the deeds that men do continues to follow them. You don't seem to understand that government can even prosecute you for a crime you committed 70yrs ago. A crime is a crime, and a criminal is a criminal until he turns a new leaf.

He left government 19yrs ago but his atrocities are still fresh in our memories. Especially when he tries to portray himself as though he is a clean politician.

And the over 400 Kwarans kidnapped is not fresh? Shouldn't the security of Kwara be the priority instead of pursuing vengeance?
Chasing Saraki shouldn't be his priority now, there are more serious issues.
By the way, why hasn't he commissioned any project for over 7years now? I heard neither Late PMB or President Tinubu has visited the State to commission any project

So, you mean government shouldn't function again because some people were kidnapped?

Are you aware that government has different arms, and can therefore perform different functions, and even pursue multiple objectives at the same time?

Let Saraki go and answer for his crimes!
