The Civil Societies Coalition for the Emancipation of Osun State (CSCEOS) has called for the re-opening of investigations into the gruesome murder of former Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Chief Bola Ige, SAN, and Honourable Misty Odunayo Olagbaju by the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).

The group said that this would go a long way in bringing uncommon credibility to the Force under the present Inspector General of Police (IGP) Ibrahim Idris.

In a letter dated 26th November, 2016 signed by its Chairman, Comrade Adeniyi Alimi Sulaiman, the group told the IGP: “We wish to inform your good office that the two highly unresolved murder cases are seriously affecting the psycho-analysis of the people of Osun State till this present moment and we believe that the two unresolved murder cases as affecting our dear state, should be thoroughly re-investigated by bringing it to close once and for all.

“While urging you to exhibit uncommon courage and honesty in bringing the perpetrators of the dastardly act to justice, this will be the litmus test for the Force in order to retain the confidence of the good people of the country in the NPF.

“It would be recalled both Ige and Olagbaju were brutally killed as a result of political crisis that engulfed the atmosphere of the State in 2001, when Chief Bisi Akande was battling his erstwhile Deputy, Senator Iyiola Omisore over power supremacy in the state.”
