Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka has expressed doubts on the seriousness of the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration to resolve the murder of former Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Chief Bola Ige.
This followed the backing of Iyiola Omisore as the new National Secretary of the All Progressives Congress(APC).
According to Soyinka, Omisore remains a prime suspect in the unresolved
murder of former Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Chief Bola Ige.
In a statement entitled: ‘Perhaps Closed Files
Should Remain Just That – Closed?’, the Nobel laureate stated that there was a promise to reopen the files on resolved political killings by the Buhari
administration.
Soyinka couldn’t decipher if the current administration was really serious about resolving the murder case having appointed one of the prime suspects in the Bola Ige case as its National Secretary .
“To this layman, that investigative revisit is already hamstrung and disrobed of credibility.
“I think the nation should simply relieve President Buhari of his pledge,” he said.
