Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Ayo Adebanjo, leader of Yoruba socio-political organization, Afenifere, on Tuesday said former President Olusegun Obasanjo has questions to answer on the death of Bola Ige, ex-Attorney General of the Federation.<\/p>\n

Ige was assassinated on December 23, 2001, during the administration of Obasanjo.<\/p>\n

But, Bisi Akande, a founding member of the All Progressives Congress, APC, had reawakened the conversations around Ige\u2019s assassination in his just-published autobiography: \u201cMy Participation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Akande, in the book, alleged that the former president was reluctant in probing Ige\u2019s assassination and apprehending his killers.<\/p>\n

Adebanjo maintained that Obasanjo can\u2019t claim innocence over the death of the former AGF.<\/p>\n

Appearing on Arise News on Tuesday, the Afenifere leader said: \u201cA lot of questionable deaths happened during the regime of Obasanjo.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no doubt that Obasanjo\u2019s government cannot claim innocence about the death of Bola Ige. Nobody is disputing that, and as far as we are concerned, he has a lot of questions to answer.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause I don\u2019t understand how the chief legal officer of the state with security people guiding him every time, will have security leave him as at the time the assassins came, claiming they go and eat.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be candid, a lot of questionable deaths happened during the regime of Obasanjo. On that score [ in the book of Bisi Akande], I think there\u2019s a point for Obasanjo\u2019s government to answer.\u201d<\/p>\n
