The Osun State Governor, Rauf Aregbesola, revealed that the spirit of the late Chief Bola Ige, was still tormenting his killers almost 14 years after he was murdered.
Aregbesola, disclosed this at Esa Oke, Ige’s hometown, at the inauguration of the Bola Ige Mechatronics Institute at the Osun State College of Technology.
Ige was the Attorney General and Minister for Justice when he was assassinated at his Bodija residence in Ibadan on December 23, 2001.
Aregbesola said those who killed Ige were the same set of people who had attempted to plunge the state into crisis.
“Though Ige was brutally murdered by those who thought they could silence him, his spirit has been restless and has been tormenting his killers who have been sinking deeper in the quagmire of infamy.
“The spirit of the late Chief Bola Ige will not sleep until the killers are brought to book. These are the same individuals that have fruitlessly attempted to plunge the state into chaos and bring about a change of government through conspiracy and subterfuge in the recent past.
“While the killers drink from the cup of shame, we shall continue to honour the memory of Ige as he is ensconced in the pantheons of departed Yoruba leaders”.
