The Kwara state Police command has described as untrue a report that mother of the prosecuting counsel to Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT), Mr. Rotimi Jacob (SAN) was receiving threat messages from unknown persons in the state.

The report had linked the purported threat with the alleged hard line posture of Mr. Jacob, who is prosecuting the case of the Senate President before the CCT.

Hearing on the matter involving Saraki, a former Governor of Kwara before the tribunal has been rescheduled for Friday, March 11, this year.

The report alo alleged that there was a grand design by "some unknown persons" to abduct the woman believed to be residing in Omu-Aran, the headquarters of Irepodun Local Government Area (LGA) of Kwara as a bargain for prosecution of the matter.

Speaking with the Nigerian Tribune on the development, the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) for the command, Ajayi Okasanmi ASP said the report remained the figment of imagination of the writer, adding that Kwara state remained one of the most peaceful states in Nigeria.

"We want to let members of the public realise the fact that the insinuation is not to our knowledge. Anyone who is alleging it should come up with a proof to that effect. We are not aware of it at all.

"I think such a writer should have confirmed first from us before going to the press. Maybe he is having an information we don't have. But we want to assure all that Kwara is a safe haven for all lovers of peace",he said.

Okasanmi, while cautioning journalists against acts that could heat up the polity, said the issues on security was "very sensitive ones", which he said should not be politicised but verified.

Besides, the Police officer urged members of the public to always ignore media reports on security, "that does not reflect the angle of the Police."
