Note:
The assassination of Chief Bola Ige, who served as the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Nigeria during the administration of President Olusegun Obasanjo, remains one of the most prominent unsolved political murders in Nigeria's recent history. Ige was a highly respected figure in Nigerian politics, known for his integrity, commitment to justice, and advocacy for democratic principles.
On December 23, 2001, Ige was assassinated in his home in Ibadan, the capital of Oyo State, Nigeria. He was shot dead by unknown assailants in what appeared to be a carefully planned and targeted attack. His death sent shockwaves throughout Nigeria and sparked widespread outrage and condemnation.
Despite extensive investigations by law enforcement agencies and promises by successive administrations to bring the perpetrators to justice, the killers of Chief Ige have yet to be apprehended or brought to trial. The lack of progress in the investigation has led to accusations of a cover-up and raised suspicions of possible political motives behind the assassination.
