Saraki, Ahmed, Others to face fresh trial over 2018 Offa robbery.
Former Senate President, Dr. Bukola Saraki, and former Kwara State governor, Abdulfatai Ahmed, will on June 4, 2026, face a fresh 20-count charge bordering on culpable homicide, criminal conspiracy, and other offences filed against them by the Kwara State Government over the 2018 Offa armed robbery incident.
Also listed as defendants in the case before Justice Haleemah Salman of the Kwara State High Court were Yusuf Abdulwahab, former Chief of Staff to ex-Governor Ahmed, and Alabi Olalekan, a former political aide.
The long-awaited trial comes after the Court of Appeal upheld the conviction of the principal suspects, including Ayo Akinnibosun, who had confessed during trial to being a hit man of Saraki’s political dynasty.
The prosecution alleged that the defendants conspired to sponsor and arm individuals linked to the deadly April 2018 robbery in Offa, which resulted in multiple deaths and widespread public outrage.
