Omisore Speaks From Custody, Says Revisiting The Case Of Bola Ige Will Show I'm Innocent

Following the directive of President Muhammadu Buhari to the new acting IGP asking him to re-open the case of a slain former Attorney General of the Federation, Bola Ige, former deputy governor of Osun State, Iyiola Omisore, who is presently at EFCC's custody says he is happy about the President's order, saying the new investigation will sure vindicate him and show his hands are clean.

It will be recalled that Omisore was a key suspect in the case years back and was detained for months as the administration of former President Olusegun Obasanjo made efforts to find the killers.

In a statement by his media aide, Diran Odeyemi, today, Mr. Omisore described the decision of the Federal Government to revisit the killing of the former Minister of Justice and Dikibo as a good and a welcome development.

He however urged the FG to extend its search towards unraveling the killers of late Funso Williams and Oduayo Olagbaju also.

"I am particularly happy that fresh investigation will further exonerate me and others who were wrongfully framed up, suffered untold hardship before we were finally acquitted and discharged by the court.

"I pray that God will expose all the people and whoever is connected to all the killings under investigation while I wish the new IG the best of luck in the task."
