Kwara State Government has heaved a great sigh of relief at the judgment of the State High Court, which convicted the five criminals involved in the April 26, 2018 armed robbery in Offa. 
Reacting to the judgment, Hon. Bola Olukoju, the Honourable Commissioner for Communications said, “
At least 33 innocent citizens, including pregnant women and nine policemen, were killed in the robbery. It was a melancholic incident that we could never forget in the history of the state”
“The government is happy that justice has been served to the victims of that unforgivable crime, their families and loved ones, to the state against which the crime was committed, and to the criminals themselves. The judgment is a triumph of good and rule of law over evil and impunity!”
“The government commends the firmness and erudition of the court on this important case. History will not forget the forthrightness of the court.”
“We also commend the resourcefulness, hard work, commitment, and brilliance of the government team, which is led by the inimitable Rotimi Jacob SAN. We also commend every member of the team from the Kwara State Ministry of Justice. We thank them for giving life to the case after the initial conspiracies to sabotage it.”
“Again, the Government sends its commiserations to the Offa community, families of the victims, and the police authorities on the heart-wrenching event. May God rest the souls of our compatriots who died in the incident.”
“This judgment is a clear and bold statement that such horrible behaviour will never be tolerated from anyone or any quarters, no matter who the enablers are, and we welcome this fair outcome wholeheartedly. No life is more important than the other.”
