The Speaker, Kwara State House of Assembly, Rasaq Atunwa, has relinquished the security personnel attached to him, following the failure of police to return security details to the former Governor of the state, Senator Bukola Saraki.
.
The Speaker, at a press briefing on Sept 10, threatened to relinquish the police security attached to him if Saraki's security detail was not restored before Friday, September 13.
.
He said the act constituted a clear breach of the law.
.
Atunwa had explained that Saraki was entitled to the provision of police security as part of his pension entitlement by virtue of Section 2 (3) Paragraph H of the Third Schedule of Kwara State Governor and Deputy Governor (payment of pension) Law 2010.
.
"As the Speaker of Kwara State House of Assembly that enacted the law, it would be utterly improper for me to sit indolently and do nothing in the face of such flagrant violation of its law.
