“On behalf of the Abdulrazaqs, the government and people of Kwara State, the Governor sends his heartfelt condolences to the family of the late military administrator, the Offa community, and the military establishment on this development,” according to a Government House statement.

“The Governor prays to Allah to repose the soul of the former leader in Al-jannah and uphold his family and the community he left behind”.
