Did Tinubu Kill Funsho Williams

Did Tinubu kill Funsho Williams?

By Abdulmumini Adeku

He was the man to beat ,the man on everybody’s lips ,he could do no wrong  in the eyes of the Lagos public but one day ,Chief Funsho Williams  winded up dead, stone cold dead.

He did not commit suicide or may be the suicide he committed was in deciding to go into partisan politics ,neither did he have a cardiac arrest but was successfully checked out by yet to identified bandits as at press time by the security outfits

Forensic checks on the Funsho Williams high octane murder case by Paedia Express Multimedia in Lagos, Nigeria has not yielded much aside from speculations with nothing concrete.

In an exclusive interview with Paedia Express Multimedia in her office shortly after assuming office as the Nigerian Police Lagos state police Command image maker, Mrs Ngozi Braide told this reporter in a terse reply that she was aware that the murder case was hugely celebrated by the press when it happened,she was however sorry that there was nothing much  on the matter in terms of information for the press as the file does not exist any more.

However the curious twist to the issue is that everywhere you go to in Lagos ,there was always a programmed response the public as they insist that Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration ordered the killing of the deceased politician through a garage tout called Saka Saula who himself was later killed in a cold blooded manner..

According to well over a dozen testimony obtained anonymously at various   places ranging from pubs, motor parks, political rallys, restaurants ,hotels ,village and market squares  everybody is pointing accusing fingers at the National Leader of the All Progressive Congress APC, Ashiwaju Bola Tinubu as been behind the dastardly act because of his ambitions to lay hold on Lagos forever.

Sources also blamed the Nigerian press for been quite on the matter insisting that they were bribed to silence by the politician on this very sensitive matter as they were quick to point at a private estate in Ikosi Road in Shangisha Area of Lagos state as one of there benefits for cooperating with the politician.

A source speaks; The Assassin that killed him stayed in the rooftop of Funsho Williams home for several hours , they were monitoring all his activities to know whether he will be alone and when he will be in the bathroom, kitchen, toilet or eat his meals  before they take him out”“As soon as he  was  killed brutally by strangulation the assassin checked out of the building  but he too was later killed and the people who killed the assassin travelled that same night to Dublin”

A photographic source told Paedia Express Multimedia that while he was at at an event at Tafawa Balewa Square in Lagos, he wanted to take the pictures of Late Saka Saula, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and Babatunde Raji Fashola  but the latter was not happy with the idea ,now the question is why.

A source ho claims to be close to the family also told this reporter that the family is aware of the politics surrounding the loss of there bread winner but that they were too timid to talk.

It would be recalled that Lagos lawyer and rights activist, Mr  Ebun-Olu Adegbouruwa, recently called on Nigerians to hold the Lagos State Government and all those who have vested interests in the Lekki Ikoyi bridge toll fee, responsible for any harm that may come his way, following the invasion of his Lekki home Monday night by eight armed men.

 Adegbouruwa in a statement, said: “On Monday, April 14, 2014, at 3a.m., armed men stormed my house, at Plots 1-3, Ebun-Olu Adegbouruwa Lane, Itedo, Lekki Phase 1, Lagos. They were about eight in number. They were well armed with shotguns. They scaled through my fence, tied my security man and my driver, at my gatehouse. They asked if the compound belonged to Adegboruwa, if Adegboruwa had a mobile police guard, if Adegboruwa lived alone or had tenants, and whether my neighbour had policemen on patrol.”

Adegboruwa,  continuing in the statement, said “They then started to demolish my window burglaries, they scaled upstairs to my terrace, to break into my living room upstairs, by which time I had already called for help, from the neighbours and from the police. They then tried to gain entrance into my kitchen downstairs, without success.

“They descended upon my security man and driver, beat them up mercilessly and started uprooting my burglary with the heavy instruments that they brought. It was at this point that the police arrived, but the police could not gain entrance into my compound, because my security man had been tied. I saw the armed men myself from my location upstairs. They looked very mean and determined, possibly not the usual armed robbers after material things.

“I do believe that this was an assassination attempt upon my life, by the enemies of the people of the masses of Nigeria, and in particular the good people of Lagos State, in the Lekki-Ajah axis. One of my neighbours has since confirmed that he actually saw a car that dropped off these armed men around my fence at about 2 a.m. They were sent on specific instructions.

“Nigerians will recall that on March 27, 2014, the Federal High Court, Lagos, delivered judgment in my case with Lagos State that collection of toll fee on the Lekki Ikoyi bridge is illegal. It was just on Monday April 14, 2014, that I argued against the request by Lagos State, to stay the execution of the said judgment. Thus, this is just a case of the witch crying yesterday and the child dying today.”

“I believe that those who have vested interests in the continued collection of the illegal toll fee are at the bottom of this assassination attempt, as a way of discouraging me or stopping my legitimate struggle against illegality, oppression and all undemocratic tendencies of our governments. I will not give up on this struggle, no matter the intimidation and harassment,that I may face. It is a cause that cannot be stopped.

“Consequently, I call on Nigerians to hold the Lagos State Government and all those who have vested interests in the Lekki Ikoyi bridge toll fee, responsible for any harm that may come my way. Our government must be open to legitimate opposition and transparency in their affairs. It is not by attempting to snuff the life out of people, that government will escape its statutory accountability to the people.

“My life is in the hands of God, therefore, I do not fear what man can do to me. I know that ultimately, those who are now after my life, will one day face the Supreme Court of God, where they will have to account for all their misdeeds, including their corruption and mis-governance. This struggle will continue, because I know that victory is certain, through God.”

Analysts believe without an iota of doubt that the PDP Caucus in Lagos State will not be interested in the life of this activist lawyer as despite obtaining what some see as a political judgment have nothing to lose but those that stand to lose in the ensuing drama of illegal collection of toll gate fees will be the Fashola regime and his godfather,Ashiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu
