The Governor of Kwara State, Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, said that some people trying to overthrow the government are behind the looting.
Abdulrazaq stated this during an inspection of the malls looted in the state capital – Ilorin on Sunday.
He also stated that the state would be supporting affected businesses with the sum of N500 million.
He said, “Behind the ideas (of angry youths) are people with ideologies of trying to overthrow the government, loot the country or trying to take some sort of advantage the legitimate concerns of #EndSARS.
“We are therefore not going to leave the business owners like that. We are setting up a N500 million fund for those that were affected, to access.
“The application form is live and active on the state government’s website and can now be filled by interested parties. We are going to get them back on their feet as soon as possible.”
Abdulrazaq decried the incident, stating that such an incident could very well cripple a business.
