Revisit Igbo-Ora Killings, Arisekola Tells Makinde

Published

on

Foremost businessman and publisher of The Street Journal Magazine, Wole Ariṣekọla has called on the Oyo State Governor, Seyi Makinde to set up a commission of enquiry to unravel the killings that happened in Igbo Ora, Ibarapa Central Local Government Area during the last general election.
“The killers and their sponsors should be made to face the full weight of the law”, Ariṣekọla said while speaking to papermacheonline.com.
It will be recalled that no fewer than two people lost their lives while many were injured during a campaign rally of the All Progressives Congress in February.
Guns, machetes and other weapons were freely used in the violence that marred the Igbo Ora campaign.
The Dublin based businessman said “the Ibarapa zone of the state was thrown into mourning by the incident during the last general election. Some families may never recover from the effect of that dastardly act. Politicians and everyone sponsoring criminals must be arrested and charged for their culpability in the deaths and injury of several persons on their  campaign trail”.
“It is absurdly reprehensible that innocent people can be killed and their killers will be walking free as if nothing has happened.  Human lives matter and Governor Makinde should bring the perpetrators of this evil act to book to serve as a deterrent to others.
Allowing killers to walk freely in a sane environment is nothing but a recipe for disaster. And since security is one of the areas his administration promised to focus on, the Governor needs to act, and fast too”, Ariṣekọla said.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) recently arrested prominent businesswoman and socialite, Aisha Achimugu, following allegations of fraudulent activities related to a multi-million-naira contract awarded to her company by a South-West state.

Achimugu, who serves as the Chairman of Bluewave Exploration and Production Limited, was detained last weekend after a civil society group filed a petition accusing her of involvement in dubious dealings concerning the contract. She was granted bail the following day but has been instructed to return for further questioning in the coming week.

Beyond her corporate endeavors, Achimugu is well-known in elite circles across Lagos and Abuja. Her social media presence showcases a lavish lifestyle, featuring exotic vacations, exclusive yacht parties, and private jet travels.

This arrest marks a significant challenge for Achimugu, whose business empire and social standing are now under intense public scrutiny. The EFCC’s investigation is ongoing, and the outcome may have far-reaching implications for her career and reputation.

A source hinted that Achimugu was asked by the commission to report back on the 30th of March,2025 for further questioning.

Not really bothered by the investigation, the billionaire days after her arrest launched a 30-day feeding Ramadan programme where she targets the less-privileged.
