Twenty years after the murder of the late first Executive Governor of Oyo State and former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation, Chief Bola Ige, the family and friends on Thursday demanded justice for their father and friend.

Daily Trust reports that Chief Bola Ige was killed by unknown gunmen at his Bodija residence, Ibadan, the Oyo State capital on December 23, 2001.

This demand for justice formed the centre stage at the 20th anniversary memorial and communion service of the political gladiator held at Saint Anne’s Church, Molete, Ibadan.

In his sermon, Bishop of Ibadan Diocese, Anglican Communion, The Most Reverend Joseph Akinfenwa said it was unfortunate that the alleged killers of the late Bola Ige were still unknown.

Akinfenwa said 20 years on, strife and bitterness were still evident among Nigerians, which according to the cleric, had hindered the progress of the nation.

Speaking on behalf of the family, the first son of the late former governor, Muyiwa Ige said the family was disappointed that no one had been identified as the killer of their father.

“We are disappointed that killers of my father are still not been identified. It is unfortunate and disheartening,” he said.

In their separate interviews, political associates of the late Bola Ige, including a former deputy Governor of Oyo State, Chief Iyiola Oladokun, Mr Ayo Afolabi and Mr Adetunji Adepeju said no matter how long it takes, the killers of the political icon would be found and punished.

Other dignitaries at the service included Director General, National Agency for Foods, Drugs and control, NAFDAC, Dr Mojisola Adeyeye, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Chief Niyi Akintola and a former Chief Whip of the Senate, Senator Olusola Adeyeye.

Before nko. Justice must prevail

Atiku Abubakar should tell us how Bola Ige was killed.

Just because Bola Ige was a politician doesn't make his death any more significant than the thousands of Nigerians that get assassinated yearly with no justice.

Mumu family


No sympathy for our present and past politicians most especially those AGF. Malami is one of the example that they do not deserve to rest well

Na who cum kill this gentle man?

Obasanjo should tell us who killed Bola Ige .
A whole minister of Justice killed like a fowl on the eve of Christmas.

Op is bola ige life more important to you than your northern Muslims brothers who would still be slaughtered in hundreds today?


Hypocrisy

So many Nigerians have been killed

The unresolved death of a serving minister is one of the major dents on the administration of Obasanjo.
Keyamo take this case shine that time with a certain self confessed Frayo.

What's Iyiola Omisore saying?

Who killed Bola Ige?

Who killed Funsho Williams?

Why was Dipo Dina murdered?

Not even Keyamo remember him.

Where is that person called Frayo at that time that was alleged to have removed his cap in a public function ?

Yoruba don kill themselves and are looking for who to blame. And who will tell us how funsho Williams and dapo Dina were killed

Stop nonsense. Killers ko, buriers ni.

He rode at the tiger's back and ended up in the tiger's belly. Though Tinubu is not different from other heartless politicians in Nigeria, but Tinubu warned Bola Ige and his Afenifebi group that Obasanjo is Lucifer's cousin and should not be trusted nor accommodated, but Bola Ige and his Afenifebi gang refused to listen. Just the same mistake Afenifebi did by working for Abacha which lead to the death of Onagoruwa's son. A wise man does not make the same mistake twice.

At every landmark political junction, Tinubu has always been right
