Justice Rita Ofili-Ajumogobia of the Federal High
Court in Lagos on Thursday granted an order of
substituted means in a suit seeking to re-open
investigations into the murder of a former
governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic
Party (PDP) in Lagos State, Funsho Williams.

One of the detainees in the murder trial, Bashir
Junaid, had filed the suit seeking an order of
mandamus compelling the Inspector-General of
Police (IG) to re-open investigations into how the
late PDP stalwart was murdered in cold blood.
Williams was killed on July 27, 2006 at his
Dolphin Estate residence in Ikoyi, Lagos.
Junaid, a former cemetery attendant, was detained
for about one year in connection with the killing,
but later released.

He had filed the suit before Justice Ofili-
Ajumogobia and listed the IG at the time, Mr.
Sunday Ehindero; Lagos State Commissioner of
Police; the Investigating Police Officer (IPO) in the
murder case; Attorney-General of the Federation
at the time; Mrs. Modupe Shasore; PDP; former
Lagos State Governor, Senator Bola Tinubu; Dr.
Muiz Banire; Mr. Babatunde Edu; Mr. Dele Alake;
and Oladele Ajomale, as respondents.

When the matter came up yesterday, lawyer to the
plaintiff, Tunji Adesheye, moved an ex-parte
application for substituted service and service of
the writ of summons on some of the defendants
outside the jurisdiction.

The order was granted as prayed by Justice Ofili-
Ajumogobia, who later adjourned the matter to
April 29 for hearing.

In the suit, Junaid, cited Tinubu as a prime
suspect.

The plaintiff is also praying the court to compel
the Attorney General of the Federation to direct the
appropriate organ in the criminal justice
administration in Nigeria, to commence
prosecution of the alleged suspects.
The plaintiff is asking for a claim for
compensatory and exemplary damages of N5
billion against the 11 defendants for their actions
or inaction over his illegal detention and
psychological trauma.

In a 48-point statement of claims in support of the
suit, Junaid who lives at 6/8 Oladiti Street, Ilupeju,
Palm Grove, Lagos, averred that due to the
influence of Tinubu and Banire and the
compromising position of the investigators at the
Federal Central Investigations Department (FCID)
Alagbon, Banire was only cautioned and made to
rewrite another statement by the police, while his
freely confessed statement which could have
assisted the police in its attempt to unravel the
actual killers of Williams, with the concrete and
implicating evidence was discarded by the police
at Alagbon Close, Lagos.

He contended that with the botched and
compromised investigations of the murder of
Williams by the FCID, which led to letting the 7th
to 11th defendants off the hook, as no further
interrogations were directed at him, he was
pushed from one officer to the other, until he was
released by the Lagos High Court which declared
that his continued detention by the police was
unconstitutional and illegal as his continuous
arrest was a flagrant violation of his fundamental
human rights to personal liberty.

Tinubu is a bona fide murderer

ozoigbondu:
Tinubu is a bona fide murderer

SECONDED.......I wonder what gives this kinda people(tinubu, amaechi) to accuse other people of crime in public.

Jonathan, read this: it is too late.

Are they gonna make a documentary on this as well or prosecute him

In other news, FFK had this to say:

Buhari is said to be overwhelmed by the
staggering allegations and compelling evidence
that have been documented and exposed in the
last few weeks about Tinubu and his closest
associates.

Our sources have revealed that Gen. Buhari
has resolved that in the event of his winning the
Presidential election, he will issue an ultimatum
to Bola Tinubu.

The ultimatum will be that either Tinubu would
forfeit and give up 50 per cent of the money,
property and the illicit gains that he has fleeced
and garnered from Lagos state over the last 16
years or he would face the full wrath of the law
and be prosecuted for corruption.

It is clear from this that all is not well in the
APC’s camp and that their de facto leader, Bola
Tinubu and their presidential candidate,
Muhammadu Buhari, are on a collision course.
These two people and their party simply cannot
be trusted with the future of Nigeria.

Nigerians, you have heard it even from the spokesman of Jonathan's campaign organisation.

Vote wisely.
