Ayo Adebanjo, leader of Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenifere, on Tuesday said former President Olusegun Obasanjo has questions to answer on the death of Bola Ige, ex-Attorney General of the Federation.
Ige was assassinated on December 23, 2001, during the administration of Obasanjo.
But, Bisi Akande, a founding member of the All Progressives Congress, APC, had reawakened the conversations around Ige’s assassination in his just-published autobiography: “My Participation.”
Akande, in the book, alleged that the former president was reluctant in probing Ige’s assassination and apprehending his killers.
Adebanjo maintained that Obasanjo can’t claim innocence over the death of the former AGF.
Appearing on Arise News on Tuesday, the Afenifere leader said: “A lot of questionable deaths happened during the regime of Obasanjo.
“There’s no doubt that Obasanjo’s government cannot claim innocence about the death of Bola Ige. Nobody is disputing that, and as far as we are concerned, he has a lot of questions to answer.
“Because I don’t understand how the chief legal officer of the state with security people guiding him every time, will have security leave him as at the time the assassins came, claiming they go and eat.
“To be candid, a lot of questionable deaths happened during the regime of Obasanjo. On that score [ in the book of Bisi Akande], I think there’s a point for Obasanjo’s government to answer.”
