Ahead of Supreme Court judgment on the N1.68billion perceived illegal deductions of the pensioners by the state government, on April 27, 2017, tension has gripped stakeholders and other citizens of the state.
Since the year 2009, the Pensioners under the aegis of Concerned Pensioners in Kwara State, which claimed to have more than 90% of the support of the members had dragged the state government to court when the state leadership refused to take the bull by the horn. Six members of the Concerned Pensioners namely,Alhaji (Hon)Ishola Lawal,Prince Ayobamdele Ajibla,Usman Kasimu,Joseph Kolawole, Imman Gbagba and Mrs Mariam Akanbi on behalf of themselves and the 9,024 Kwara State accredited pensioners had dragged Kwara State government to court over the accumulative deductions of N1.68billion pensions and arrears of gratuities in contravention of section 210 of the Nigerian constitution and section 10 of the Kwara State Pensions and Gratuities laws.
