There are strong indications that the police will re-arraign suspects who were earlier arrested and detained in connection with the murder of a former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Chief Bola Ige.
It was learnt on
Tuesday that all the suspects that were arrested in 2002 who were later freed
would be apprehended again for fresh arraignment and prosecution in respect of
the case.
Findings indicate that
a Special Investigation Panel set up by the IG will look at all the
evidence in the case including forensic analysis which will be used to
prosecute the suspects afresh.
The police could not be
reached for comment as calls to the police spokesman, Donald Awunah, indicated
that his number was unavailable.
It was learnt that the
initiative to re-open Bola Ige’s murder case was from the acting
Inspector-General of Police, Ibrahim Idris.
Sources said the IG
wanted to demonstrate that the police could resolve all previously abandoned
politically-motivated murder cases in the country.
