National secretary of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Senator Iyiola Omisore has replied a statement issued by Nobel laureate Prof Wole Soyinka over the latter’s allegation that he was still a prime suspect in the alleged murder of former minister of justice Bola Ige.
Omisore, a former deputy governor of Osun State, said it was curious that Soyinka, who accused the Obasanjo government of complicity in Ige’s death when he described the government “as a nest of killers”, could now describe him as a suspect in 2022.
In a statement on sunday by his media office, Omisore said: “If the court of the land has vindicated a man, it is naive of him after nearly a decade to link Senator Iyiola Omisore to further search.”
He added that “civil and criminal law knowledge should tell professor to ask his cousin OBJ (Olusegun Obasanjo) for the murder.”
The APC scribe said “it is an unnecessary propaganda some drowning politicians are trying to spread.”
He also threatened to sue a political group in Osun APC for fabrication and defamation.
Omisore added: “The world is aware of the framing of Senator Iyiola Omisore and his travails and trials facing murder charges and his subsequent acquittal and discharge, almost a decade ago by a competent court of the land.
“So, how come any man, can still refer to him as a possible suspect? The Prof is very wrong to say all that. It takes wickedness to spread the statements.”
