IBADAN—TEN years after the unresolved murder of the late Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Chief Bola Ige, SAN, the ruling party in the South West, Action Congress of Nigeria has vowed to re-open the case so that the killers would be sanctioned.

Specifically, Governor Abiola Ajimobi and Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State have agreed to work together to unmask whoever that pulled the trigger that terminated the life of the late Cicero of Esa Oke on December 23, 2003.

Though, many Nigerians have lost hope over the brutal murder of Ige, the governors apparently saying the killers had murdered sleep and would sleep no more resolved that they would not mind if the case is not concluded in another decade, they would ensure that justice is done.

As the incumbent governors of Oyo and Osun who were physically present at a lecture marking the 10th anniversary of Ige’s death united to unearth the killers, Alhaji Lamidi Adesina said the death of Ige had the connivance of the government and that was why up to now, there is no clue about who killed the former governor of old Oyo State.

Adesina did not mince words as he said Ige was wasted so that a “dastard purpose by the Olusegun Obasanjo led federal government could be achieved.

The event was well-attended by sons and daughters of Yoruba. Among those that were at the anniversary are the first female Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Chief Folake Solanke,   Bimpe Aboyade , former Commissioner for Education in oyo, Prof. Bolanle Awe, Mr. Sarafadeen Alli, chieftains of ACN in Oyo and Osun States. Lam Adesina was the Chairman of the event which held at the Premier Hotel in Ibadan.
