Fourteen years after the gruesome murder of a
former Minister of Justice and Attorney General
of the Federation, Chief Bola Ige (SAN), the
Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Solomon Arase,
on Monday, said the case could be reopened.
Solomon, who spoke on Monday during a
programme, “View from the top,” on Channels
Television, said that the investigation into the
murder failed because it was not based on
proper intelligence.
It will be recalled that the candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party in Osun State and a
former Chairman, Senate Committee on
Appropriation, Chief Iyiola Omisore, the
immediate past Minister of Police Affairs, Mr.
Jelili Adesiyan, and the current National
Secretary of the PDP, Prof. Wale Oladipo, were
arrested and charged for the murder.
They were, however, discharged by the courts
after a series of trials.
Arase, who was a member of the special
homicide unit that investigated the case, said the
investigation was also marred by the political
atmosphere at the time.
Arase said the suspects were made to undergo
lie detector tests.
He said, “Some people were charged to court
but just as I said before, our investigation was
not intelligence-led. So, we tended to situate it
within the political complexion of Osun State at
that time. And you will also remember that there
were a lot of distractions when that investigation
started.
“So, it looked as if the attention of the police was
diverted from the original cause of the event. I
remember we also brought in the FBI (Federal
Bureau of Investigation) and we wanted to
ascertain if the people that we had in custody
were the real people.
“So, we administered the polygraph examination
but it did not work out. The polygraph test
showed that they were not the perpetrators. The
scientific aid we were trying to get was not in
tandem with the circumstantial evidence that we
had gathered. And when you have such issues,
the suspect is given the benefit of the doubt. So,
they walked away.”
Arase, who was also the Deputy Inspector
General of Police in charge of Intelligence before
he was promoted last month, said the case had
not been closed.
The police boss said if new evidence emerged,
the case would be revived.
He said, “Murder cases don’t have statutes of
limitation. Cases can always be reopened as it is
done in other countries. Once there is fresh
evidence to suggest that the probability of
involvement or the criminal responsibility of one
of the suspects in that matter is higher, it can
always be reopened. You hardly close a criminal
investigation that way.”
Arase said it was his plan to implement police
reforms and also increase the standard of living
of junior police officers.
The police boss urged his men to be more
professional and continue to operate on the
assumption that suspects are innocent until
allegations against them were proven otherwise.
He, therefore, ordered his men to stop the habit
of arresting suspects before gathering evidence.
He said for things to improve in the police, the
best university graduates must also join the
security agency.
He said, “We must ensure that those who are
brought into the force are intelligent enough and
can be easily trained. When your manpower is
wrong ab initio, you get everything wrong. So,
we have to look at our recruitment policy. We
should be able to attract the best people into the
force.”

Omisore go soon sun

hmmm another "gbege" loading....

DaBullIT:
Omisore go soon sun

Omisore was discharged and acquitted on all charges including first degree murder.

What this means is that Omisore can not be called never again to stand trial or undergoe any criminal investigation regarding Bola Ige's murder.

Obasnjo and Tinubu should get ready to face the music.

Buhari is using this to check those baboons.

Omisore has been duly discharged and acquitted by a competent court of law.

Unless your Buhari will roll out a special military Tribunal to retry Omisore which he cant do.

It is between Tinubu and Obasanjo now.

Tinubu killed Funso Williams

Tinubu Killed Bola Ige.

Tinubu was lobbying Abacha to become his VP during Abacha's botched transition to civilian rule despite Tinubu being a member of the opposition NADECO.

Tinubu influenced the Appeal court ruling that saw Maj. Al Mustapha set free.

Tinubu second only after Obasanjo is the most evil man in Nigeria.

Tinubu killed Bola Ige because at the time of Ige's murder, Ige was the only opposition figure in Obasanjo's cabinet. Tinubu felt Ige's influence will out weigh his in the Southwest and Ige was about to expose Tinubu to the AD as a fraud after several secret dossiers exposed Tinubu playing both sides of the fence during the Abacha and NADECO standoff.

AD is still in existence and are the most staunch opposition to Tinubu.

Tinubu left AD with some of his supporters to form the AC.

From AC, Tinubu then moved to the ACN with his most loyal supporters.

Tinubu is a despot masquerading as a democrat.

For how can we explain that for 8 years, Tinubu's administration is on record to have had the highest number of deputies - FOUR IN TOTAL!
