Alhaji Sulu-Gambari, in a statement issued by his spokesman, Mallam Abdulazeez Arowona, condemned the incident stressing that “It is a most unfortunate, alien and regretable act of wickedness.”
He noted that “It has become pertinent for parents, guardians as well as people in the neighbourhood to remain vigilant to happenings around them, especially ensuring that their children and wards are in the company of people of tested and trusted characters with well-researched family background.
The Emir further disclosed that, “It is only hard work that pays, total war should be declared against idleness, laziness and unwarranted loitering around the society by youths in the name of finding means of survival.”
He also urged clerics in the Ilorin Emirate and beyond to sanitise the system by ensuring that the likes of Abdulrahman Bello are exposed to law enforcement agencies before wrecking more havoc and damaging the lives of innocent persons.
While commiserating the families of the late Hafsoh Lawal over the unfortunate end to the life of the promising daughter, Alhaji Sulu-Gambari urged the Nigeria Police and the Judiciary to ensure that toral justice is served in this matter.
