Two yet-to-be named suspects undergoing
investigation in connection with the murder of
former Attorney General of the Federation and
Minister of Justice, Chief Bola Ige, have reportedly
opened up on their involvement.
This is coming after the Inspector General of Police,
IGP, Ibrahim Idris, set up the Special Investigative
Team, SIT, to probe the murder of Ige who was
shot dead on December 23, 2001, by unknown
gunmen in his Ibadan, Oyo State home after his
security guards took permission to go and eat.
While the SIT is said to be working on unravelling
some mystery financiers who provided large sums
of cash for the operation to kill the ex-chief law
officer, Vanguard is reporting that four days before
Ige was murdered, the prime suspects in the
murder had allegedly travelled to Abuja to collect
huge sums of money with which the operation was
paid for.
Reports say two of the suspects in the murder case
at the weekend confessed in their statements that
the ‘Ogas’ told them to give them some time to
enable them travel to Abuja to get money to sort out
the cost of the operation.
The newspaper is claiming that a source said, “In
fact, about four days to the date of Bola Ige’s
murder, one of the prime suspects traveled to Abuja
for funds. Even during the first encounter, the visit
to the palace of the Ooni of Ife, where the cap of
Bola Ige was removed and thrown away, the prime
suspects had returned from Abuja with cash.”
According to the report, information about the
money was revealed by one of the suspects
because the sharing formula did not favour him.
