Ladoja faults Akande on Ige’s assassination, says old age has blurred his memory
Former Governor of Oyo State, Senator Rasheed Ladoja, has dismissed the claim by former National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Bisi Akande, that he has crucial information regarding the murder of Chief Bola Ige as a complete falsehood.
Akande had alleged that Ladoja knew more about Bola Ige’s death and that he entered a no-case submission with the suspects accused of assassinating the ex-attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice.
But the ex-governor denied the allegation, saying old age has probably affected the memory of the former Osun Governor to remember what happened during the period.

Ladoja wondered why Akande, who said he knew many things about the assassination that he would not disclose, did not tell the public what exactly surrounded the killing of the former AGF on December 23, 2001.
Akande had in an explosive interview with ace broadcaster, Edmund Ebilo claimed: “I was the Chief Security Officer of Osun State at the time, not Oyo State. Lam Adesina was the Chief Security Officer of Oyo State and he went to court and the governor that took over from him, Ladoja, withdrew the case from court. He might be able to tell you more. I believe he has more information on Bola Ige’s death.”
