Offa Robbery: Kwara APC, PDP Spar as DPP Report Clears Saraki
Political tensions have resurfaced in Kwara State as the (APC) and (PDP) clash over fresh allegations linked to the 2018 Offa robbery.
The dispute follows renewed claims attempting to connect former Senate President, , to the high-profile incident, despite a previous report by the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) clearing him of any involvement.
The PDP has rejected the new allegations, describing them as politically motivated and an attempt to tarnish Saraki’s reputation ahead of future political activities.
On its part, the APC has insisted that the matter deserves further scrutiny, maintaining that justice must be fully pursued.
The earlier DPP report had concluded that there was no sufficient evidence linking Saraki to the robbery, a position his supporters continue to uphold.
Political analysts say the renewed controversy reflects ongoing rivalry between the two major parties in the state, particularly as political alignments begin to take shape.
The development has reignited public debate over the Offa robbery case, which remains one of the most talked-about criminal incidents in recent years.
Observers warn that the politicisation of criminal matters could undermine public confidence in the justice system.
As the exchanges continue, stakeholders have called for restraint and adherence to due process in addressing the issue.
