Chief Alani Bankole, the father of the immediate past Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Dimeji Bankole, has cried out that some people in government want to kill his son.

According to him, he received the intelligence reports late yesterday that arrangements had been concluded to kill his son, Dimeji, who is being detained and prosecuted by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
Bankole, who had been in the commission’s detention since June 5, was released, but re-arrested on another 14-count charge yesterday.

According to elder Bankole, he had received a foreign intelligence report that some highly-placed people in government were trying to get rid of his son, the way they got the winner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election, the late Chief MKO Abiola.

“Please tell the world that some people in government, particularly the Federal Government want to kill my son the way they killed MKO Abiola. I don’t know why, but that’s the intelligence report I received today (yesterday).”

Chief Bankole, who looked disturbed and worried, warned those who are planning the act to desist from such while recalling that such intelligence report was reported in 1993 shortly before the death in detention of the late Concord publisher.
The Egba high chief, while urging President Goodluck Jonathan to ensure the safety and security of his son, recalled that it was the same way that the family of the late Justice Minister and Attorney-General, Chief Bola Ige (SAN), received the information shortly before he was murdered.
While calling on intelligence agencies to be on red-alert, Bankole said: “My son must not die in detention the way Abiola and others died.

Speaking on the current travails of his son, Bankole said: “The unorthodox way and manner in which my son was arrested on Sunday, despite his earlier agreement with the Chairman of the commission and instalmentally charging him to court is a pointer that the government does not mean well for him.”
“I am afraid, particularly when one remembers that my son had been accused by the Chairman of the EFCC of attacking her during my son’s visit to the American Ambassador in Nigeria and the fact that a lawyer, Festus Keyamo, has not hidden his hatred for my son, shows that my son is currently in the hands of his enemies.’’

Message for Mr. Bankole (Snr): If you had raised your son well in the ways of morality and not imbibed in him your own personal failings of corruption, you will not have been crying wolf about some phantom plan to kill your son. Please allow the court to conduct its work. Stop prejudicing.

Relax Daddy. Nobody would kill your son. You are a better target

Getting rid of the entire family and wipingout this cancerous name will be my greatest joy. Very bad rubbish indeed.

This ido*t should arrested . . .

The only reason why you always lick your butt is their refusal to allow ANY igbo the opportunity to even come close to where the monies is. . .come to think of this.

Did you ommit Orji, wabara,Nnamani,chris Uba, ohakim delibrately or you are trying to repeat what happen in the pre biafran military coup that see igbos carrying out selective ethnic killings?

How can you allow igbos the access to national treasury with their average conviction that stealing,lying and cheating is a means of making it?

No one will allow you such so, stop salivating. . .just carry on with your international drug pushing, manufacturing of fake drugs, pros*itution and the newly intoduce baby making factory.

I've been saying it: wash an Yoruba, comb an Yoruba, it's nothing but an Yoruba!

These people are thieves by nature. The yorobos glorify criminals in their pathetic enclave,,,,little wonder they gave the nigerian dungeon the likes of bode george, tinumbu, mko (womaniser), obj, iyabo, olubumi etteh, tafa balogun, ooni of ife, akala, and now bankole.

Chei! How did I end up in thesame country with these thieves.

This thread appears to have been derailed no thanks to the quality (or lack of it) of some posts here. I just pity this country, even the younger generation has become a problem.

Make this man go SEMPE jooo. His boy will not die but live to see the glory of God in the land of PRISONERS

This must be really difficult for his family. What a shame. I only hope he is given fair trial and sentenced accordingly if found guilty.

Man, u never ululated when ur son was eating our money at the detriment of the country that harbors many jobless youths. What a reasonable father suppose to do to show us that he's free from the corruption, is come out in public and disown the son for making ur family name an object of deride. Come to think of it, a snake can't give birth to a frog.

Papa Alani, why didn't you train up your son in the way of the Lord, now he would have given you peace!!

Why didn't you shout when he bought NECOM house for you?
Why didn't you shout when he was allocating N400m to himself as annual salary?

People like you are those we do not want in this country, so,,,,DIE, DIE, DIE, DIE!!!!!!!

make dem tranfer the Guy to Panti jooo

Mr Alani will you stop making noise there, when your son was stealing the money (yet to be found guilty) why didn't you call him to oder, am sure you were probabiliy hailing him saying "OKARE OMO MI" now you are here making noise.

Come to think of it in your days as a politician I heard (unconfirmed though) that you used to give people be a very dangerous man as bad as the area boy and political thugs killing and maiming people at will and if that it true, I will say PAY BACK IS A B!I!T!C!H. My advice is to stop all your rantings and let the law take its course old man, CHEERS

hahahahh this guy u wicked o, you be police b4?

LOL

No, I'm angry I no feel laugh

Stealing is a generic disorder. The elder Bankole must have some thieving disorder in him, hence he begot a thief. He also forgot that people are lynched for just N100, so let the law take its full weight on his son. After all when the son was bringing bags of loots to him, he never cried out. His son is lucky because, he would have got some treatment at Ojuelegba for that much he stole from the public purse. BANK OLE. mshew

If you had cautioned your son on the techniques of wining and dining with the devil, i am sure you won't be crying foul today. Your son has bitten the corrupt fingers that once fed him and typical of Naija poliTRICKS, he has been abandoned to his fate. You shld know this papa dimeji because you are a master of such games.

We've got to be careful about our responses. God is greater than anyone, so let's mind the kinda jokes we crack with His name!

Chief Alani Bankole,
Your son Bankole has killed the future of our nation, he has also allowed his selfishness and despicable home-training you've given him to pull the new generation of this nation 30 years back.

By the way, when he was bringing home those lovely cookies, you should have checked him right away.
I suggest you chill-out and allow your son to defend himself.

baba dont worry i'll make sure nobody kill your boy. just give me 1% of the national cake.

Baba is a joker. If u had raised up ur son in the way of thy Lord, he wouldnt have gotten himself into this mess. Nobody is trying 2 get ur son killed, the evil he did while in office is simply living after n before him. If ur son is guilty, then i'd suggest those tryin 2 hurt him down in the govt as u alleged succeed.

politics as usual

Baba, when you and your son stole from Nigeria, a lot of Nigerian youths ends up not getting the good things of life, some end up killed by the police as arm robbers, some are still on a single diet a day and BBC and CNN can always say that the average Nigerian survives on less than $1 a day, the youths and their dreams has already been killed, just because you and your son stole from Nigeria, Baba, go thank God this is not China because he would have been treated as a CRIMINAL that he is, a shot in the head

What is wrong with this man sef? So, his thieving son should now be given VIP treatment because his life is in danger? abegiii, Bankole Snr. should not just bring sentiments into this whole saga o. His son should be tried and JAILED for LIFE. He has disgraced young people in this country. We are saying that old people are being recycled in government and that we want a change and when we do get that change, wham! NECOM wahala, inflated salaries, over prized cars etc etc. Make I hear word jo, dem wan kill your pikin indeed. Why didnt you pull his ears when he was stealing my money? (yes ke its mine and ours, after all, I pay tax), why didnt you shout then? why didnt you caution him? msheeeew!

They want to kill his son. And so? It is an eye for an eye. If he meant well for his son, he should have called his son to order. He did not see anything wrong in his son's despicable behaviour. He is a disgrace to fatherhood
