What exactly is the state of things concerning the boundary matter between Erin-Ile and Offa. I understand there was a supreme court judgment?
Alabi: You will recall I addressed the press on 26th, December 2018, bringing this December 14th, 2018 judgment of the supreme court to the attention of the world, and promising to see to its enforcement. As a peaceful and law-abiding community, we have taken several steps towards this end, beginning with serving copies of the judgment on the government of Kwara state and other stakeholders including the security apparatus, and follow-up requests for the implementation. Particularly, we have caused letters of 4th, January 2019; 8th, January 2019; 16th, August 2019; and 12th, December 2019 to be served on His Excellency, the governor of Kwara state to put apparatus in place for the implementation. We have also through the press sensitised the public and all stakeholders on the judgment and its implementation. Such include my press conference of 26th, December 2018 which you referred to, and newspaper publications of 4th, May 2021; and 7th, May 2021, among others.
