Okay, and when last did Sahara Reports any news about the insurgency going on in the country? because, we have come to understand that alot has been happening and Sahara has never reported any case of Bomb attack. They should be professionals at what they do.

have u gone to their sites except what u see on Nairaland. ..take a tour and see if there are no other news dere....why beef them for following up on d story; it's a big story and big stories sell faster

ajepako:
This ragtag again?!

Serious news like Boko haram attacks in Borno and Adamawa dey there, dem no report.

Na Saraki own dem dey report.

Like Boko Haram attacks and carnage weren't their sweetest news under GEJ

Now, it's of no use to them now that APC, their paymaster is rulling

Propaganda will not last forever..

Idiot media..

go to their site and find out....Nairaland is not their official site

If you think saraki is the only one embezzling money then you are on a long thing. .
If saraki Is the only corrupt person in Nigeria then there is no corruption at all.
my problem is most people have been blinded by tinubu and empire, they make us love who they love and hate who they hate because they have hijacked the media.

Saraki is corrupt just like any other politician in your neighborhood, Kwara us not the only state owing salaries, Osun, Imo and others are also owing but why are they talking about kwara alone, because saraki disobeyed mafia Tinubu.

The most painful thing is this men are not fighting for the public, they are just pretending, even if all saraki's properties are sized today it doesn't in anyway affect the life of the common man, if saraki should leave Senate presidency today, kwarians have nothing to benefit or loose, this politicians have enslaved us instead of us to join hands together and fight against them they are using us against one who they don't like amongst them.

In the next four years nothing will change, nobody will be jailed, Nigeria will witness negligible change.

Few days ago CBN warns that we are at risk of economic recession, nobody is organizing meetings or sensitizing or offering probable solutions among this people because most of them have British passport and would jet out anytime the chips are Down leaving me and you behind.

Let's wise up this cause is not of any benefit to a common man, it's a battle of supremacy and who take the larger share. ..... Go check the pension bills your Tinubu, Ameachi, and others sign to law before they leave office and you will know they don't care about you!

so u ddnt hear of the bill Akpabio signed into law....and why shdnt we start wt Saraki, he is d no 3 person in Nigeria.....both ameachi and Tinubu no get posts.....

Nigerians should go and gather stones, we are in the era of stoning our corrupt rulers. This is part of changes we voted for. even amechi said we continue stealing ur money because u don't stone us. Go and keep some stone in case of emergency stoning.

Its only a matter of time, Saraki Sins and the Sin of his Father would eat him up will be forgiven.

Senate President Bukola Saraki, who stoned yesterday with rocks and water sachets by an irate mob at the Eid Prayer Grounds in Ilorin, Kwara State, has accused Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed of leaving him vulnerable and open to attack, an aide of the governor has told SaharaReporters. Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed of Kwara State

Our source added that Governor Ahmed confided in aides and the traditional ruler of Ilorin that the Senate President made himself the target of furious crowd because he failed to listen to security reports and advice urging him to stay away from Ilorin during the Sallah holiday.

A security source corroborated the governor’s sentiment. According to him, security agencies in the state had been aware of public anger against the governor and Mr. Saraki, especially as information circulated among residents about the size of the senator’s assets and personal wealth. He added that many people in the state, among them unemployed youth and workers who are owed arrears of salaries, felt that the Saraki family had exploited them for years. 

A reporter in the state also told SaharaReporters that rumors circulated widely that Governor Ahmed had given Mr. Saraki N1 billion from Federal bailout funds meant to clear several months of salary arrears to workers. “Whether it’s true or not, the rumors were making the rounds. And they made many people incensed against the governor and Senator Saraki,” the reporter said. 

Other sources in the state disclosed that a few local imams (Islamic preachers), shocked by media reports about Mr. Saraki’s obscene wealth, revealed in his past asset declarations, preached about the senator’s greed.

“Once we heard what the preachers were saying in mosques, we warned the governor [Ahmed] to avoid any public outing as it was clear that people [were] angry and waiting to attack him and his godfather, former Governor Saraki,” one of our security sources said.

He added that, days before the Sallah festivities, security agents had seen piles of stones hidden in drainages around the prayer ground, and told the governor about it.

An aide of the governor told SaharaReporters that Governor Ahmed, in turn, communicated his concerns to Mr. Saraki in Abuja. “But Senator Saraki continued to feel that he was popular in Kwara State, especially in Ilorin,” said the governor’s aide. “He would not agree to exercise caution because he wanted to show his popularity after his ego was bruised at the Code of Conduct Bureau,” the aide added. Mr. Saraki was last week arraigned at a tribunal for false declaration of assets.

Ignoring all security warnings, the Senate President reportedly ordered the governor to arrange a series of high profile events for him in the state capital. The events proposed by the embattled senator included meet and greet at the Ilorin Airport on his arrival in the state. 

A few days before Senator Saraki’s arrival, the airwaves were saturated with radio announcements calling on politicians and civil servants in the state to welcome the former governor at the airport. In the end, the event was abruptly canceled when security agencies warned that protesters were planning to launch an attack on Mr. Saraki at the airport.

SaharaReporters learned that, a night before the Sallah prayers, Governor Ahmed told Senator Saraki that he would not attend Eid prayers at the Ilorin praying grounds on account of adverse security reports. But Mr. Saraki was not deterred, said our sources. Instead, he ordered his aides to scout the length and breadth of Ilorin and surrounding towns in order to mobilize a huge crowd to show up and sing his praises at the prayer grounds.

On Sallah, Governor Ahmed headed for his hometown, avoiding showing up in Ilorin. 

Meanwhile, Mr. Saraki arrived at the venue where he was initially serenaded by a retinue of hired praise singers. However, shortly after the formal prayer events started, with the Chief Imam presiding, and the Emir of Ilorin, Sulu Gambari, next to him, protesters started shouting “Ole! Ole!” (meaning thief in Yoruba). Pandemonium soon ensued as the angry crowd began hurling rocks at the VIP tent. Prayers were aborted as Mr. Saraki and a coterie of other religious and political officials were smuggled out of the prayer grounds. The police, army and civil defense agents had a hectic time clearing the way for the dignitaries to escape. Several eyewitnesses disclosed that the security agents fired teargas and live bullets to scare the rampaging protesters.

In a public relations stunt, Senator Saraki quickly arranged a short press conference where some hired youth chanted his praise  in the background as he spoke for a minute or two before he fled. 

Our source, who is an aide of the governor, told SaharaReporters that Mr. Saraki was also displeased with the governor’s media team for issuing a statement condemning the attack on Senator Saraki and other VIPs. The embattled Senator Saraki felt that the statement undermined his earlier denial that he was not the target of the stone-throwing protesters. 

Mr. Saraki had handpicked Mr. Ahmed to succeed him as the governor of Kwara State. State workers are being owed salaries for the last five months, a development that is seen as the result of Mr. Saraki’s financial mismanagement during his eight-year stint as state governor.

am not shy to dissociate myself frm those terrorist like BH, Alqaeda and odas who constitute only less than 0.0003% of the muslim world of almost 2b population! And so if iddiots like u choose to conclude on Islam because of activities of beast like BH that's ur own cup of tea! Drink it!I don't even care! Back to christianity, characterised by gullible followers! Show me a pastor who doesn't depend on tite and I might change my perception!

CaptaiinG:
That's the difference between Tinubu and other politians, all Tinubu's company, estate, television station etc are in lagos and I love it like that, it creates jobs for the graduate unlike other politicians that will carry our money abroad and invest, create company there, please who are the people who gonna work there? Are they not the citizens of the country, they are helping other countries economy

Though Tinubu is corrupt too but still helping the country's economy

Mumu.

phyllosilicate:
I am presently in Ilorin and I agree to imams preaching about Saraki.
The mosque I prayed today, though I don't understand yoruba; from the little english the Imam was adding to the yoruba, he mentioned Buhari little assets despite been a governor, petroleum minister and president and ptf chairman. He also said some people around buhari are 'traitors'. He asked people to pray for him. The imam was wise he passed the message without mentioning saraki's name.

I looked around and saw that 'men dey vex'. Then I knew Saraki political career is dead. Even pa chukwudi can win Saraki in an election in Ilorin.

I was also in the prayer ground yesterday, i strongly believe that those who started the attack were hired, but many were happy to join them. The most supprising thing was that i didn't see anyone that felt for him, but I did.

Na wa Oh. He deserves what he got. I wish the youths can do same to all corrupt politicians. Imagine (i don't want to call him a fool) Amaechi saying that we still because Nigerians don't stone us.

But when will this be done against Tinubu ?

That's what you are, ode boy
