Falana offers free legal service, says Soyinka exercised his freedom of expression• ‘I never campaigned for Buhari, only asked Nigerians to vote out Jonathan in 2015’
Soyinka, had in a statement last Saturday, said the resumption of an investigation into Ige’s murder was already hamstrung and disrobed of credibility with the emergence of a prime suspect in the case as the National Secretary of the ruling party. Soyinka said a man decaped a respected minister and threw the cap at thugs, adding that such action led to other actions. “That doesn’t mean you were responsible for the person’s death. But certain actions led to other actions.
The essayist stated that such a person should have been made an envoy if the party desired to give him a post, but not the secretary of a ruling party. “Even if President Buhari or the APC wanted to reward Omisore, he ought to have been given an ambassador appointment, even if it is to Ukraine and not a national secretary of the ruling party.
IN his reaction, a human rights lawyer, Chief Femi Falana , said the killers of Ige must be found, noting that Soyinka had reminded the President of his pledge to open an enquiry into the country’s spate of political murders. “Sometimes they call it cold cases in the US, and these cases are in the archives. Anybody may turn up to say, ‘we have some information or I did it, I am having sleepless nights, I now want to open up.’ Sometimes those who are at the tail end of conviction are brought out of prison and those who have been killed are given some restitution,” he explained.
