Firefire:
In 2001, General Ibrahim Babangida refused to testify before a national human rights commission about the Giwa murder. Babangida, Hakilu and Togun went to court and obtained an order restraining the commission from summoning them to appear before it.


The envelope that carried the bomb had the inscription ‘cabinet’ on it, and was addressed to Dele Giwa. The envelope exploded as Mr. Giwa tried to open it.

Evil on the land.

too many evil

am sure even d murderer wud av slept n d Lord

I no fit finish am o abeg make somebody summarize

Some years ago, during the lunching of the Gani Fawehinmi Library in OAU, Ile-Ife, the Special Guest of Honour, Femi Falana made a remark. He said, "quote me for what I'm going to say, Babangida killed Dele Giwa."

IBB silenced him, no doubt.

"Excited about the title of the parcel, he placed it on his laps and continued with his meal of akara and pap, while his friend awaited him in the sitting room.

Gbooaah!!

Off went the parcel and his legs were in a burnt state, so was his stomach and his face from the impact. Had he placed the parcel elsewhere, the world of Journalism in Nigeria would have been top-notch, transparent than it presently is"-- Anonymous, but highly reliable source.

Judgment day is coming. Sooner or later we will know the truth.

I've taken your virginity,you're mine forever.



I'd rather keep on staring at AnneMomoh photo on her profile than for me to kill my battery scrolling down this electronic newspaper.

lordpreps:
Even my dog knows it was BABA who killed him!

Which day dem born u , talk less of ur dog

AnneMomoh:

I luv Emi

me too I think I luv you too.

This is the first Nairaland long post i have read from the beinginng to the end, apart from literature.

continue to rest in peace.

The Dele Giwa case was the tragedy of our times. I recall the case faintly....even though I was very young...as another scary event in a year of violence for Nigeria.

In 1986....Nigeria lurched from crisis to crisis. Our economy was in dire straits...so much so that we had to take SAP. Lawrence Anini was terrorizing parts of the country in his Volks Santana. 19 Students were killed in ABU Zaria...sparking off a nationwide student revolt that lasted one month, and the religious fabric of the nation was under severe strain...Sharia and population figures were in the dispute(This religious fight reached its pinnacle in 1987....with the burning down of several churches in Kaduna State following an offensive anti-Islam comment made by a cleric in Kafanchan). And on top of that comes the letter bomb death of Dele Giwa...something which had never happened in Nigeria...something which you saw on videos of American films...something which happened only outside the country and was associated with oppressive governments. (in 1982..Ruth First..anti-apartheid campaigner, and wife of Joe Slovo and comrade of Nelson Mandela was killed by a letter bomb in London...sent by the BOSS...the intelligence agency of the Apartheid South African govt). I recall as a young child feeling scared and frightened one fine sunny day in June 86....and wondering...when will it all end.?

The tragedy of Dele Giwa's death was not that it happened , but that it has never been solved.Indeed...today, we have a lot of people excusing otherwise seriously corrupt activities ,and even violence...because Nigeria has not changed in any way from 1986(Well...you can make a decent phone call outside the country easily...and computers have become smaller and more ubiqutious...and there are more channels on TV...but that misses the point!). Dele Giwa's blood is still crying for vengeance....as is the blood of Fatima Mustapha and the 18 ABU students, and the many others who have died because Nigerians refuse to hold their governments accountable. Perhaps if we are to move from the ghosts of 1986...we must,as a nation get some things right. We must call every Nigerian....to account.

But,as in 1986....I doubt that is going to happen.Nigerians prefer.....to turn away and get on with our business. It did not affect us after all.

I remember that day at Oduduwa Hall. That day, when Falana gave statistics of what the Federal government and its arms had stolen, my mouth went dry. I was close enough to see the VC go white as if he had seen a ghost. Dude was scared stiff!

After that day, Falana wasn't allowed to give speeches on campus. If he was to feature in any program, the DSA would withdraw the approval of such program.

i just like to call his name.

Lollllllz. U dey fear make Buharians no chew u raw

Till today, babangida knows who did it.

ManTiger:
Uncle Dele just like every other person was expecting to be gratified
after a successful investigation journalism on the role of former head
of state cum his wife on the drug baron in the country.

Those investigation was never published despite his solid proof, instead
he was blown by an international explosive believed to have been imported from Russia.

I heard the bomb was developed by the only nuclear physicist Nigeria had, in his Ngwo village in Enugu state. He was under 'house arrest' while he built it, not knowing the purpose. When it was used in killing Dele Giwa, he was full of regret. Dr Sam is late now though.

Evil Men yet we celebrate them.

It was a calculated evil against journalism. But it failed for that act emboldened a crop of journalists ln TELL and Newswatch. People like Dele Momodu and other friends of Dele Giwa mentioned in d article. Babangida never knew peace since then.

There were different versions of these. The much I heard then was that it was developed by the Mossad

That was a lie sold by the administration then.

Dr Sam Orji was a renowned physicist, and bomb expert, and friends with IBB. He did not know whom it was meant for. It had to be manufactured quickly, and discretely.

please i want to use this medium to report AnneMomoh (f) that you know on nairaland.com

I dont know the appropriate channels to follow but he/she is an impersonator.
using the real persons pictures and name and descriptions to gain popularity for God knows what!

The real Anne Momoh is a friend of mine that knows nothing of this site.It took me a while to even explain what this forum was and how it works. I dont know why someone would impersonate another with their full names and photographs.

NAIRALAND (Guys especially ) beware!! I dont know what the plan is..
Im ready to go any length to stop this wicked soul!

The Mossad acct did not originate from the govt,infact they did everything to frustrate d investigation.
