Police ban sales of pure water in Kwara

The police in Kwara state at the weekend banned the sales of pure water around Muslim praying grounds during the Eid-el-Kabir Monday.

The ban, sources said may not be unconnected with the allegation that Bukola Saraki, the senate president was pelted with pure water sachets last year when he visited his home state.

It is likely that the police in Kwara may not want a repeat of the embarrassing incident, a source said Sunday.
