Obj and tinubu are tight ogboni brethren, Ask anybody who was present during stella obj's mother's funeral.

the fact that Omisore was even drag to court vindicated him as no 1 suspect. as per obasanjo and Tinubu, na dem sabi if dem like make dem fight or not all polithiefcians are the same

Safari29:

take it easy on him. U don't have any evidence, and he is not convicted. All these are just ur insinuation. The only one convicted for Bola Ige death is Omisore

Convicted.......

tit:

Aregbesola is the worstest governor of Osun state ever.
I do not know him and Oyinlola who bad pass.
Akande was better. He was old and not too smart but he is not as bad.

I have eyes ok.don't bring in sentiment here. in d kingdom of God., dere is no wife., brother.,sister.,family.,friend or tribe but only d truth. dat is what u find dere.

Last week, precisely twelve years after the murder of Chief Bola Ige, who was then the Attorney General of the Federation, Senator Iyiola Omisiore, who was arrested in connection with the murder of the former Attorney General and later discharged by the court, brought back the memories of the Ige murder case, of which I was deeply involved in terms

of private investigation. He demanded that I must apologise to Nigerians over my role in trying to rope him in.

bola ige

I was a prosecution witness in that case and was at the centre of the allegation linking Omisore to the murder of Ige.

When I read Senator Omisore’s interview last Sunday, I simply shook my head and said to myself, this man is an unrepentant liar and a desperate politician. If Senator Omisore does not want to let sleeping dogs lie, we will help him wake up the dogs. Senator Omisore should kneel down before his God and ask for forgiveness. He knows very well how the murder case against him in respect of the death of Bola Ige was bungled when the PDP government under Senator Rasheed Ladoja took over the reigns of government in Oyo State and all kinds of drama began to happen.

The Ministry of Justice in Oyo State that was very cooperative under Governor Lam Adesina began to act very funny. As a prosecution witness in that case, I will say this authoritatively. If the prosecuting counsel, Chief Debo Akande, SAN, were to be alive, he would have told you the same thing.

For instance, without just cause, the murder charge against Omisore’s brother, Fryo, and the other suspects was discontinued. In fact, the Police also bungled the investigation before the matter arrived in court. For the information of the public, the prime witness in that case who was to testify against Senator Omisore and the other suspects, including his younger brother, was put in the same executive cell as Senator Omisore at Alagbon Close for more than three months before his trial started. This was late 2002 to early 2003.

Imagine that nonsense! The name of that witness is Andrew Olofu who was the security guard to Bola Ige on the night of the murder. I also personally spoke with Andrew Olofu, together with two other journalists who were arrested along with me in March 2002. If you recall very well, I was arrested for alleged perjury along with two other journalists in a bid by the Police and their collaborators to divert attention away from the real issues.

Andrew Olofu was also arrested during that period. We were all detained at Force Headquarters in Abuja. So Andrew Olofu had enough time to tell us what he witnessed during the murder of Bola Ige during our detention in Abuja and when the Police was conveying all of us by road for almost 14 hours from Abuja back to Lagos. This is not a matter of hearsay. Andrew Olofu spoke to me directly and the two other journalists who are still alive today. It was after this young boy was handed over to Omisore to cater for during his detention at Alagbon Close that this boy changed his mind and his statement.

The boy came to court and said he could not remember anything again. The family of Ige pinned so much hope on this boy. But after his volte face in court, Justice Atinuke Ige (Bola Ige’s wife) died that night. She could not take it any longer.

A week before the murder of Bola Ige, it was Omisore’s younger brother together with Olugbenga Adebayo (aka Fryo) who were instructed by Iyiola Omisore to assault Bola Ige at the palace of the Ooni of Ife. And this they actually did, in the full glare of the public when they forcefully removed his glasses and his cap, before he was rescued by his security details. Shortly after, Omisore granted interviews to the press, boasting that it was the last time Bola Ige will step into Ife again. And it turned out to be so.

Admittedly, my younger brother, Lucky, actually added a twist to the whole case by claiming that I made up those allegations, but that is very laughable. That plot to use my poor kid brother against me collapsed like a pack of cards. Nigerians even laughed at the whole plot, it was too cheap. My kid brother later expressed his regret publicly when Omisore later stopped funding him and paying his house rent. He granted an interview to PM News in 2007 regretting his actions and went on air in 2008 to ask Nigerians to beg me to forgive me. I have since done that. So Omisore is flogging a dead horse.

Omisore specifically alleged that those people who master-minded Ige’s death must have been those who roped him in so that the real culprits could escape. This is a weighty allegation, and So who are these people who roped him in? Was it the same people who told him to order the assault of Ige? Nigerians must ask Omisore and the PDP led government in 2003 that amongst all the prominent sons and daughters of Osun State, why was he, a murder suspect at the time who was remanded in prison custody and awaiting trial for murder, why was he given a senatorial ticket over and above all others who had no moral burden hanging around their shoulders? If those who gave him the senatorial ticket were not anxious to compensate or placate him for something he did for them, then they should tell Nigerians why they gave him the ticket. Omisore should realise that there are three types of judgments: the judgment of man, the judgment of the law court and the judgment of God. If you think you are smart, you can escape the first two but you cannot escape the judgment of God.

There were insinuations that my driving force was the desire to be known and perhaps to serve as a launch pad for the achievement of a desire to be SAN. It is the height of ignorance and stupidity for anyone to think that it is when you are well known that you become a SAN. It is the amount of work put into the legal profession and not popularity that makes a lawyer a SAN. So those who floated that idea at that time, some years ago, should look for another reason because that one is too lame.

Looking back at the Ige murder case, particularly, concerning the twists that characterised the case, I don’t regret every step I took to unravel the truth. There is only one thing I should have done more in addition to all I did: just as I documented the confessions of Fryo by affidavit, by audio, by video and by his own hand writing, I should have also done the same with Andrew Olofu so that Nigerians would have seen and heard by themselves the naked truth as to what happened on the night Ige was killed.

Will Ige killers be found? My simple answer to that is that when the killers are looking for the killers, then the killers will never be found. But one day, when the killers are no longer in control of the agencies in charge of investigations, then the killers may be found. I rest my case.

ARCHIVES: Read Omisore’s interview shortly before Bola Ige’s assasination.

(Shortly before slain Minister of Justice & Attorney General of the Federation, Chief Bola Ige, was killed in his Bodija, Ibadan, Oyo State home by yet-to-be-identified assassins, former Deputy Governor of Osun State, Iyiola Omisore, granted this interview to the defunct TEMPO magazine.) The interview is republished here for your reading pleasure - See more at: http://thenigeriangazette.com/archives-read-omisores-interview-shortly-before-bola-iges-assasination/#sthash.vNvrkUtt.dpuf

About a week ago, there was a violent clash at the State House of Assembly, there are indications that the crisis ensued as a result of a move to impeach you. What is your comment on this and what is your level of involvement?
I know that you are aware that I was away abroad on that day; on those days Monday and Tuesday, when the crisis was on, I was in the World Bank discussing ways to get Osun State out of its impoverished state. I had a meeting with the World Bank president, and other operatives, in those days.
It was in the cause of the meeting that I learnt that there was fighting in Osun State, I was not aware. The fight started among the members of the House of Assembly and it was Akande that caused it.

How?
I heard that there was a motion to embarrass the deputy governor and I was told that Governor Akande gave them the instruction before he left for Mecca and that was what led to the crisis. When this motion was moved, members reacted negatively and fighting broke out in the House. They used microphone to beat themselves up. So, what is my involvement in that?

But some arrests were made and there is a report that majority of those arrested were linked to you?
What I was told is that people were arrested on the road; the Commissioner of Police had compromised. I read in the papers that it was two factions that were righting and some thugs of the governor were arrested with cutlasses, charms and guns, were left unattended to. But the police arrested people who were just coming from the quarters to prefer charges against the thugs. The commissioner of Police has compromised and he is the one causing the crisis in this state and I am calling on the Inspector-General of police to give us a neutral CP because I cannot trust the current one again. I am the deputy governor of this state and I cannot trust the CP. He has turned to be Akande’s staff. I have not seen the CP in the last one year, I have not set my eyes on him and he is supposed to be coming here to see what is happening. He is supposed to be checking my guards here randomly.

Are you saying he has taken sides?
Yes he has compromised

With this development, can there ever be any meaningful reconciliation between you and the governor?
With somebody who wanted to take my life, somebody who does not wish me well, somebody who does not let me have my entitlement? I am spending close to seven million naira every month to maintain my people here, water has not be supplied to this house in the last one year. The state government is owing me, on entitlement, on allowances on fuel and other things, close to N20million and this is a bastard whom I fed and paid salaries. He was feeding fat on me. The car he drove to the secretariat was given to him by me. The driver that I gave him was shot by his aides “when they attempted killing Olofoyeku. The man has no conscience. But there will not be peace in the state until the wrongs are righted, until the murderers are brought to book. Rinde has come out to say that they were given money to impeach and that one of them suggested that they should murder. Who and who are to be victims, where does it start from, the police must come out quickly.

But, 2003 is still far away and we are already experiencing this…
I am not interested in 2003, I am concerned about what is happening now, the government on the ground. Akande is not a sole administrator in this state and must not turn the state into his personal company. He is a thief, he has stolen so much money and he will continue to steal money. This is a man who did not leave Nigeria for eighteen years prior to his coming to power, he has, however, gone abroad, when he became the governor, more than ten times now on flimsy excuses. He said some students wanted to give him an award in Ghana and he gave some people money to go and represent him. Spending the people’s money, he is a bastard. He will go back to prison anyway, he will go on account of murder, looting and fraudulent practices. He and his Commissioner for Finance.

Will you not blame this escalating crisis on the leader of your party and Afenifere?
No, I cannot blame them. In the last few months, Akande had been abusing the leaders of Afenifere. So, where do we start from? He has abused and insulted the leaders. He is a nonentity. There were facts that he was at one time mad, he is “Alawoku” and there is no way he can be totally cured of the madness in him. He has a psychiatrist who moves about with him. The laughter he puts on is a therapy. If he does not laugh, he is going to bite people, and I am not surprised and it is unfortunate that when we were contesting people came out with this detail but we were not sure then he is a mad man. He has insulted the leader using the state’s money to advertise. Who will he listen to now? Recently too, Bola Ige came on radio here to insult me and my family. That is his last one. He was beaten yesterday, the people of Ife beat him up and he was crying like a baby as they removed his cap and his glasses. The crowd at Ife had it been it is a political gathering he will be dead by now. It took the intervention of S.S.S. men and some of us, we had to bet the mob, to free him. He was disgraced out of Ife, he had to be dressed like a woman to get out of the town. We had to co-operate with the S.S.S people to beg the people to leave him alone. That is to show that Bola Ige does not command any respect again in this state.

Chief Bola Ige was beaten at Ife?! Is the attack not traceable to you, and why do you think such an ugly thing happened?
He has offended Ife people. If he insults me, he has insulted my people and they have the right to react.

So they were fighting on your behalf?
They were fighting for their own son, and they have the right. Ife has been marginalised in this government and they have the right to react. The people are not happy; they provided about 50 per cent of the votes that got Akande into power. When he came to Ife, he told them that the more they vote the more would their gains be. They were then asking him at Ife if what he has done is what they deserved to be given, it was just a spontaneous reaction. I had to beg them because what the people wanted to do was more than that. If he is wise, he must not come to Ife again.

You said their won’t be peace in the state until the wrongs are corrected…?
(Cut in) Yes, until the murderers are brought to book. You know there was no peace in Egypt until the Israelites were freed, it is not a matter of brick-stone or threat, it is a matter of natural recourse. There was an attempt to murder, blood was involved, naturally, the blood will not let peace reign in the state. I had been keeping quiet, just watching them. Now, they went to the House of Assembly to start embarrassing me. The House started the whole crisis. I wasn’t around. If I wanted to plan my own, this state will just go into ruins, I don’t want to do anything that will destroy my reputation in this state. Everybody knows me in this state and I have a good reputation among the people.

Will you say you are sorry for the people of this state?
I am very sorry for them. They have a governor who is not responsive. When we got to Osogbo, there was water everywhere. There has not been water in this town in the last one year. The pumps packed up at Ede, instead of them replacing pumps they are busy importing chemicals because of the bribe they take from the importers. Instead of using money to buy things that will make water available which I advised them to do, they bought chemical at inflated prices. So where is the water, they want to eat chemicals do you count five before one, there is not water in this house, there are water tankers in this state, they use them to fill their houses leaving this house alone, I spend about N7 million every month to maintain this house.

Do you expect these monies paid back?
I am sure when another government comes, because the expenses are all documented. I don’t have official car. I have bought cars by myself

The murder (poison) plot that is under investigation by the police, has there been any significant development on the issue?
I am surprised, I wonder, my former aide who was escorted by Akande’s aides revealed and confirmed that money transpired, there was attempt to murder and an attempt to impeach. They have confessed. What again? I want Nigeria police force to come out to explain what is happening.

How will you describe the role of the state’s House of Assembly in the entire crisis?
It is so unfortunate. There are cases in courts and I don’t want to say anything about them. One thing is clear though, they are fighting among themselves. Where there are bad eggs, the good ones will want to neutralise them. I think they are doing justice for themselves; it is too early to comment on them.

How true is the talk that you’ve switched romance over to the PDP?
The people saying this are blackmailers. I am not a small fry in AD so, why would I suddenly leave. I belong to the core Afenifere, Akande does not. My leaders know that I am not PDP, I am AD. Akande and his people do not stop blackmail. Akande is a big liar, somebody who was commissioning projects that previous administration has commissioned. Commissioning hospital that we used when campaigning, he is a liar and he will go to jail. Last time he went to jail because he used government money to enrich the party. Now, he is using government money to enrich himself and Bola Ige. They are on their way to prison and they will surely go.

Don’t you see the attack on Chief Ige as an embarrassment to the Yoruba race being a leading light in Afenifere.
Bola Ige is a traitor in Afenifere, he has abused and embarrassed leaders of Afenifere, and so, it is nemesis that is catching up with him. He is the “Akintola! of our time. What Akintola did to Awolowo is what Bola Ige is doing to Adesanya and the Yoruba people. That is nemesis, and that has started from the source of the Yoruba, Ife, and that is the beginning of his disgrace. Bola Ige is on the downward trend now. And you know Ife people will not tolerate any form of intimidation, gratification, embarrassment and cheating and if not for my intervention and the SSS, I saved him from being killed.

You said you feel sorry for the people of Osun State?
Yes, because this is a governor who imported dredging equipment worth about N200m and it has not worked for one day.

Will you advice the people of Osun State to be patient?
Of course, I have been begging them. I go to rallies, I stop at Bus Stops, I stop on the way. I have been begging, them to exercise patience since it is just four years, and we are going to the third year now. Look at how Abacha went, he misruled for 5 years, when the time came did any anybody did anything to him, fortunately we are in a democratic set up which is four years when there will be change of government. The spirit of Osun will ensure the change of guard in the state.

@Johnjon..........please create a new thread with the information you have posted up there

It was obvious that Ladoja as a PDP Governor frustrated the prosecution of Omisore by deploying all dirty tactics under the books to make the case suffer jeopardy

Whosoever that has his brains well screwed up will wonder how it was possible for Omisore who has a heavy moral burden on his shoulders to have been given the Osun East Senatorial ticket and won the election from prison

Demdem: I have no doubt in my mind that indeed Iyiola Omisore killed Bola Ige.

Take him to court then

OP you can't prove a thing so just shushhh! Except if you were the person sent to assasinate him.


Let's allow the dead to rest and stop digging the corpse with such unnecessary threads.

Abi u be ritualist?

Johnjon:
What did Andrew Olofu tell you?

Iyiola Omisore killed Bola Ige, simple!

olabukola: Take him to court then

If you are half educated, you would know that citizens cannot take a criminal matter to court. Murder can only be prosecuted by the state after investigations by the police. That is why the charge sheet reads "the state vs the accused". If the state or the police is not interested in a criminal case, there is nothing anybody can do, including the victim and his/her family.

anonimi:

Are those political ASSASSINATIONS
Can we try to engage our grey matter productively once in a while ?

U even have time to quote him.

JayJohnson: Iyiola Omisore killed Bola Ige, simple!

how?
did he blow Bola Ige with bomb?
Did he send him juju like Aregbesola is doing?
Or did he remove nuts from the engine of eBola Ige private jet?

huptin: Did the op just say the killings have ceased since Obj left office? The lives been daily lost to Boko Haram do not count?

dnt mind him

that assertion was wrong. D guy cited an example using bh and u cut him off. How cud u take away d killing bh as not political killin? U nid to check d wider meaning of politics again. Wat about dina of acn killed in ekiti or ogun? Aspirant of anpp killed in maiduguri in 2011?

Omisore killed bola ige and tit was d assassin that he(omisore) used that night to kill bola .

I can't really say mr omi kill bola ige cos i was nt dia. One thing i knw 4 certain is omisore do go abt during election with gun n his touts harrassing n killing innocent people. Am sorry truth is bitter.

maybe na ebola kill bola ige. end of stories!
mods i move a motion for this thread to be CLOSE.

Good Question!

PDP killed him. I will never forget when they were killing people through air crash. PDP is evil, Even GEJ have to sacrifice my governor. Patrick Yakowa of kaduna state because he wanted to be reelected.
Thank God for Buhari, political assassination is gone.

Bola Ige was killed by same fulanis elites who are sitting tight on Power Sector of Nigeria.
Though he got murdered by his Yoruba people headed by then deputy govnor, but he was mapped by those who never wanted us to have electricity 24/7. He uncovered atrocities in the ministry of power and steel by Fulani supremacists

Exactly, people like Atiku who own generator companies. Unfortunately, late NNAMDI KANU told his people to vote for the same fulani crook after collecting his share of the corrupt money.
May his soul rest in hell for his greediness.
