Ige Family Seeks Justice From Buhari Over Father’s Murder

The son of the late Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Bola Ige has revealed that the family would reopen the case to their father’s gruesome murder under the administration of President-elect, General Muhammadu Buhari.

Daily Independent reports that the son of the late justice, whose name was simply given as, Muyiwa Ige, made the disclosure on Monday while addressing journalists.

Muyiwa, who expressed strong believe that the family would get justice this time around said; the killers of his late father would be brought to book and made to face the full wrath of the law.

Muyiwa, who is an Architect and Osun State Commissioner for Lands and Physical Planning, revealed that the killers of his late father would be found this time although it is almost 14 years since the murder took place.

He said the case has been stalled for several years, but expressed optimism that it would not be so under the new administration.

The son of the late icon while speaking on the reason those that assassinated his father have not been arrested after almost a decade and half, disclosed that the family already knew who they are.

He insisted that the case must reopen once the new government is sworn in on May 29, 2015. “We know the killers, they are still out there walking, but sooner or later the killers will be found. Once we have a concerned government in power, we will fish out the killers. I thank God that on May 29 a concerned government will take over. When we have the government that believes in the rule of law, we are going to push for the case to be reopened. Right now, the prime suspects have no power base. We are going to reopen the case and, hopefully, justice will prevail,” he said.
