Kwara state Government and the family of late Dr Olusola Saraki have agreed an out-of-court-settlement on the disputed land between the two parties.
The state government’s action is in response to an earlier letter from the Sarakis seeking for an amicable out-court-settlement of the case.
The state government has on Thursday January 2 at around 3am demolished the house belonging to the late Olusola Saraki.
The state government claimed that the parcel of land was illegally acquired by the Sarakis under the name Asa Investment Limited.
This has led to litigation between former Senate President Bukola Saraki and the state government.
At the last adjourned date, state High Court in Ilorin had urged parties to the dispute to explore out-of-court resolution of the case.
At the resumed hearing of the case on Friday, Counsel to Asa Investment Limited (Sarakis) AbdulAzeez Ibrahim informed the court that his clients had received a letter from the state Ministry of Justice inviting them to a meeting slated for January 27th, 2020.
Said Ibrahim: “On January 15th, your lordship conscientiously advised parties to explore settlement of the case out of court in the interest of peace in this state of harmony.
“Consequent upon that we as counsel to the claimant had to persuade our client and after thorough discussions our client instructed us to write a letter to the Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice of the state of our readiness to meet with him. And we served the 20th January, 2020.
