Jelili Adesiyan, who once served as Nigeria’s Minister of Police Affairs, has publicly and forcefully denied any connection to the assassination of Bola Ige, the former Attorney General of the country. During a detailed conversation with interviewer Edmund Obilo, Adesiyan recounted the profound personal and legal ordeal he endured after being implicated in the high-profile murder. He insisted that the accusations leveled against him were entirely baseless and that he was wrongfully associated with the crime. As a result of these allegations, Adesiyan spent several years incarcerated, a period he dedicated to legally contesting the charges until he was ultimately cleared and exonerated by a ruling of the court.
In emphatic terms, Adesiyan sought to definitively sever any perceived link between himself and the tragic death of Ige. He stressed that he possesses no knowledge, ties, or involvement whatsoever in the events that led to the killing, and he vehemently declared that he would never participate in such a grievous act. To underscore the sincerity and gravity of his denial, Adesiyan offered a solemn oath, stating, “If I knew anything about Uncle Bola’s death or even had any hint or heard discussions about it while I was present, I pray to God to strike me down, to ruin me, my wife, my children, and everything I represent.” This stark invocation was intended to convey the absolute truth of his claims and the depth of his desire to be absolved of this long-standing suspicion.
