Who killed Dipo Dina?
Why the loss of interest by the Government who accused of the murder?

These are questions that has been on the lips of the people of Ogun State since the gruesome murder of the 2007 governorship candidate of the Action Congress (AC) in Ogun State, Otunba Adedipupo Dina, at  Ota, Ogun State.

DD Direct as he was popularly referred to, was killed by unknown assailants who spared the lives of two other persons: His driver, Mr.Tunde Oyediran and a prophetess, Funmi Olagoke, who were in his black Toyota Camry Car with him when the incident happened.

Some years latter in the Magistrate Court of Ogun State holding in Abeokuta under K. M PETERS (JP) on Friday 14th of January 2011, with charge number MA/ 39C /2011 four suspected killers of Dipo Dina were arraigned namely
1. Mathew Asumoh. (M) 32 years
2. Kabiru Amao (32) years
3. Oluwafemi Teslim (30) years
4. Moruff Dauda (32) years

Since the arraignment of the killers in 2011 despite many political conclusions , nothing has been heard on the trial, aside the naming of Ijebu-Ode Stadium after Dipo Dina and the yearly remembrance of the politician.

The question who killed Dipo Dina has now turned who is preventing Justice on the death of D D direct?
Accounts of how the urbane politician was killed vary. While some of his associates are insisting that it was a clear case of assassination, the police, through the Ogun State commissioner believe it was a case of armed robbery.

Sources close to Dina, who believed that it was a case of hired killing, said the gunmen blocked his car, immediately opened the door and told him that they had been paid to kill him. He was told that somebody had paid for his life and that he should cooperate and surrender his life peacefully without struggle. Dina opened the door to get down possibly to fight, but the men just opened fire on him and killed him.

In fact, they wanted to take away his corpse, but he was already on the ground and while trying to carry his corpse, they knew time was running out. So they took his car and the driver and drove away only to drop the driver in Agbara area.

But the police commissioner then, Mr. Musa Daura, said otherwise. Actually, at about 10.30pm, I received a call from the Divisional Crime Officer and Area Commander of the area (Sango-Ota) and the Area Commander narrated to me what happened in the area that somebody was killed.

I have gone to the scene. Though I am not familiar with the terrain, the command has people who know the area and we dropped by the station. At the station, I met the DPO and personally interviewed the deceased's driver and one lady called Funmi who were in the same car, Camry, black. Each spoke individually and not collectively, that they were coming from Lagos and on reaching Winners Chapel, an unknown vehicle having four persons inside double-crossed them and ordered them to come out.

They obliged and then were ordered back inside; some obliged. The deceased raised his leg to move and there was an argument and for failure to comply, the unknown men shot him on the abdomen.

One of the culprits drove off with Funmi and the driver in the deceased's car. They were dropped off somewhere. Then, I proceeded to the scene and was not able to extract any exhibit. I went to the mortuary and saw the deceased's body and sympathized with the family who also came. That is all I know, to the best of my knowledge. There is an element of robbery and element of assassination.

But as the question arises on whether a man of Dina's status would argue with armed robbers, attempt at reinforcing the theory of armed robbery was further made by a vigilance group in the area by describing the area as a black spot.

Addressing a press conference at the palace of the Olota of Ota, Oba Alani Oyede, the group, led by Alhaji Adeyemi Ayetoro, said that the area has been identified as â notorious hide-out for criminals, adding that many innocent Nigerians had been dispossessed of valuables on the road. The group said that it had at different times called the attention of the police to the spot as a hide-out for  hoodlums.
Below are the court documents who never saw the light of the day.
