Sunday, December 28, 2025 - Former Minister of Police Affairs, Jelili Adesiyan, aka Jalo, has denied allegations linking him to the assassination of former Minister of Justice, Bola Ige.
Adesiyan, who was Minister during the administration of
former President Goodluck Jonathan, said God should destroy him and his family
if he was involved in the assassination of Ige on December 23, 2001 in Ibadan,
Oyo State.
Featuring on Edmund Obilo’s podcast, State Affairs, the
former minister said his innocence led to his eventual discharge and acquittal
by the courts after being made to pass through trauma.
He said: ‘I’m Jalo and I fear nobody up till today, I pray
to God and each time I’m praying I start by saying if I ever knew anything
about the death of Uncle Bola or anybody for that matter, I will not come out
of this alive.
“The theory was that when they removed his cap, he has been
molested and killed spiritually, so they went and completed the thing
physically in Ibadan, they are stupid and they will all suffer before we leave
this earth.
“Anybody who has hands in the death of Uncle Bola that made
people like me to suffer will suffer and those who still believe in that theory
will suffer too.
“On December 2023, 2001, Bola Ige was assassinated and they
arrested us and took us to Alagbon where we saw hell. We were locked up in a
dungeon cell without light and I’m having problems with my eyes up till today
because of that trauma.
“If I know anything about Uncle Bola’s death or if I have
any inclination, plan or I was where they started murmuring it where I’m
sitting, I pray to God to strike me, destroy my wife, destroy my children,
destroy everything I stand for.”
