'Share/Tsaragi clash panel not court of law'
The judicial commission of enquiry on Share/Tsaragi communal clash in Ilorin, Kwara State, as set up by Governor Abdulfatah Ahmed, is a fact-finding one, and not a court of law.
Speaking during the inaugural public sitting of the commission in Ilorin, on Thursday, its Chairman, Justice Sulaiman Akanbi, of the state
High Court, said that the commission was not out to try, prosecute or deliver judgement on any party.
It would be recalled that the two neighbouring communities of Share and Tsaragi engaged in a clash on Saturday, December 19, 2015, while valuable property was destroyed.
Akanbi, who said that it had six weeks to complete its assignment, added that it had received 20 written memoranda from interested members of the public.
He said that the terms of reference of the commission was to investigate and ascertain the immediate and remote causes of the communal clashes between Share/Tsaragi; ascertain extent of loss and damage to life and property, following the civil disturbance; determine the conduct of any person, group of persons or associations that, in any way, contributed to violent clashes; investigate and identify persons or group of persons, other than security personnel, who possessed firearms during the civil disturbances; identify any extraneous factors that led to the disturbance; and make recommendations for lasting solution to the issue.
