Prior to the assassination, Ige was guest of His Royal Highness, Oba Okunade Sijuwade, the reigning Ooni of Ife and it was widely reported that some miscreants (apparently being sponsored by those who hated him) reportedly removed his cap and hung it on a tree in the palace area. One begins to wonder what has become of our society. What an irony! Years back, and precisely in 1980 at the same venue, the man, Uncle Bola Ige, was the centre of attraction as governor holding out the staff of office to the king-elect then during the installation and coronation. I think it is not too late for the police to start a thorough investigation from that angle. This to me should be acceptable as a careful thought with a view to unraveling the assassination and bring to book the killers now that we seem to embrace the rule of law in the country. It is only when the killers are caught that we can be talking of prosecution. And with the zeal of the Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba, he should be challenged to come out with something that will cleanse the shame of a nation, that a sitting Attorney General of the Federation was that murdered in his home and more than seven years after, the nation is still groping in the dark. Most Nigerians share the belief that the Nigerian Police is capable if it chooses to come out with the expected result.

[b]Of course, the Obasanjo administration did not help the police in that at the tail end of its tenure, it was widely reported that the former president at a gathering quickly admitted that one faceless drug baron which the then Ministry of Justice was planning to probe was responsible for the cowardly act. And because you cannot put something on nothing, on October 24, 2007, the court ordered the release from the Agodi Prison in Ibadan of the accused as advised by the state prosecution for want of evidence as usual and one cannot blame the defence lawyer boasting to even sue the Federal Government for damages while the real damage to the nation still looms and crime committed still unravelled.

Some schools of thought believe that if Ige had remained in his self-styled “siddon look” posture at that time and not joined the Obasanjo government, he may still be alive or at worst, he may not have been slaughtered the way they did. In any case, death could also have come due to old age. Some of us also believe that his joining to serve at all under Obasanjo’s regime was a silent revolution or protest from the way and manner his party presidential primary at that time was conducted[/b]

Gbam!..indeed

Nice question @ OP. Let the Oracle of Owu explain this to Nigeria.

Baba would always dodge this question cos of Mr. Kashamu, the free man

Is Obasanjo a judge?

Would Chief Bola Ige have been successfully murdered without the covert knowledge of the Ebora?

Thought his book is titled UNDER MY WATCH!
his A.G/ MINISTER OF JUSTICE was killed under his watch or was it after his watch?

Did you read the topic of the thread, where it is asked, "did Obasanjo include who killed Bola Ige in his book?" Is Obasanjo a judge, I ask again? If the OP had said, did Obasanjo include Bola Ige, it would have been better.
