President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered the re-opening
of late Chief Bola Ige and Chief Aminosari Dokubo's case.
We gathered from sources that towards unearthing
the perpetrators of these unresolved murders, the Acting Inspector General of
Police has instituted a high powered investigation team, headed by an Assistant
Inspector General of Police, to crack the case.
Recall that Chief Bola Ige was shot dead in his
bedroom in Bodija, Ibadan, home at about 9pm on December 23, 2001, after he
arrived Ibadan from Lagos at about 8.30pm. His security details were said to
have sought permission from the former Attorney General to go and eat before
the incident occurred.
The gunmen, who were said to have been waiting in the
vicinity, then stormed the house and tied up family members. One of the gunmen
reportedly pointed a gun at a family member and asked him to lead them upstairs
to Chief Bola Ige’s room. They allegedly moved the wife and his son to an
adjourning room, locked them up before shooting their target in the chest.
On the part of Chief Aminosari Dokubo, the late PDP
Deputy National Chairman was said to be returning to his base from Abuja after
a meeting when he was waylaid by suspected assassins on entering Delta State.
He was killed near Asaba on October 22, 2004. Dokubo’s assassination at the
time was alleged to have been caused by certain disagreements with the powers
that be in his political party, prior to the general elections.
