President Muhammadu Buhari, share the rewards of your investigations– If any!!!! Nobel laureate Prof Wole Soyinka has said on Tuesday in a satement titled, “20th Bola Ige Memorial Symposium: Two decades of injustice: What are the implications on Nigerian democracy?”.

The Nobel laureate also asked President Buhari what has become of his robust pledge to open an enquiry into killings of Chief Bola Ige and other spates of political murders and that does the pledge amount to yet another instance of political bravado?.

Recall that Chief Bola Ige who was the then Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, was shot dead at his home in Ibadan on 23 December 2001, and up till now the killers have not been found.

Soyinka questioned President Buhari’s promise to probe the killings and political murders Ige saying: “President Muhammadu Buhari, what has become of your robust pledge to open an enquiry into the spate of political murders that the nation has undergone in recent years? Does it all amount to yet another instance of political bravado? While we all accept that all lives should be valued equally, some impose a special responsibility on those in governance.

Soyinka went to say that Nigerians must relent in seeking an explanation for Ige’s brutal murder, expose the perpetrators, identify the conspirators and reinstate the broken lines of justice.

Soyinka said: “Bola Ige, as the nation’s Minister of Justice, and United Nation’s civil servant designate, was unarguably one of such. A nation’s honour is in question and remains so until the hour of closure. Thus, she must never relent in demanding an explanation for his brutal murder. Expose the perpetrators, identify the conspirators and reinstate the broken lines of justice.

“At the very least, we need a formal declaration regarding those who displayed an abnormal interest in the fates of those accused, to a level of proven, documented interference both in the investigative process and within the judiciary.
