Kwara state government has commended leaders of various religious bodies for their understanding and leadership over the last few days as the administration gets the children back to schools following the hijaab decision. The government led administration of Governor Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq appreciated the maturity and forthrightness on both sides, stating that it is immensely grateful that every side has continued to restrain their followers, and especially credits the religious leaders on both sides and the security agencies for the gains already recorded. However, the government wishes to warn attempts by some fifth columnists to foment trouble in parts of the metropolis. It stated that it would never condone such reckless behavior, and security agencies have been instructed to deal ruthlessly with anyone who attacks fellow citizens or makes any attempts on sacred places or properties under whatever disguise. While stating that such attempt is devilish and clearly meant to undermine the progress so far to build peace and harmony, the government urged parents to call their children to order immediately. Anyone found fomenting trouble will have themselves to blame. In addition, it stated that the ongoing dialogue with various stakeholders will continue unhindered and leaders on all sides are urged to continue to play their roles as statesmen without allowing any fifth columnists to provoke them and derail the peace efforts.
