The Assassination of Dele Giwa - October 19, 1986

[@otubanjoalaba4073]

Who killed Dele Giwa? This is a poetic question that will be repeated every October till eternity.

[@ComfortEmedoh-wj2dc]

First to comment. OMG! I never knew that was exactly what happened to Dele Giwa. No matter how long it takes, God in his infinite mercy will surely prevail one day. His geniued Spirit will continue to linger in the heart and soul of his killer or killers. They will continue to suffer the pain of their guilt and their generations alike. Take it or leave it.

[@ajibadefrank6377]

That's the system we inherited and still operate. The killer or killers are known but will not come to light. The powers that be, the cult, the cabals, will not allow. That's Nigeria for you.

[@mn7024]

Even if from a wheelchair and loss of loved one 😏

[@itguru2943]

I didn’t know he died that young at 39. A fine brave Gentleman. He passed the torch to David Hundeyin. May God protect him.

[@normal_side]

I hope those that killed Dele Giwa think then that they will remained in power forever or that they will never die, unfortunately unknown to them that Dele will be waiting for them at the other side as a landlord and superior. As a young man in my twenties then, i and my friend roommate had a newspapers vendors that normally delivered to us at home regularly weekly edition of Newswatch Magazine, because it used to be hot cake then, which had it office situated at Oregun Road, Alawusa Ikeja, now known as Kudirat Abiola way, in the same compound with a branch of UBA Bank where i had an account then. That was the best era of investigative journalism in Nigeria, until now that God gave us again, the young man known as, DAVID HUNDEYIN, may God protect and keep him alive wherever he his. Dele Giwa you lives on in our memory that knows and witness your days and works.

[@delighteze5980]

And upto date, the government has never changed.

[@folukealadesuyi9218]

Because it was rotational caucus are still there putting themselves in the high position of Nigeria. They know that if Peter Obi image as a president they will all be exposed both in power and the past that they are still living. Let Nigeria be divided and let each one of us go on his own way.

[@codeosagie]

I was just in tears watching the video, so touching. The same government that killed Dele Giwa has a new name, #APC and PDP.

[@mimianon9025]

And Labor party which has ex-PDP members. The ruling class in Nigeria are one. Very United. Watch LP merge with one of the others. There is only one party in Nigeria; “Chop-chop and clean mouth” party. I am in my 50s and lived through Giwa’s assassination, Ken Saro Wiwa and Ogoni 9, MKO’s murder, Kudirat Abiola’ murders among other sad unnecessary bloodshed. Anyone who was a governor for 8 years in Nigeria is part of the establishment. I’m 🇺🇸🇳🇬 with zero political affiliation or ethnic sentiment & don’t care for Bat or Cat or Atik or Po. Fela described all of them as the same. Gideon Orkar coup was a missed opportunity to reset Nigeria.

[@maziochendu5258]

Dele Giwa without University education got a job in Barclays bank and others .. before then using the money hr had earned to further his owm education further.. Nowadays, even a Graduate with a Master's degree cannot get a job due to the terrible state of NIGERIA economy amd it's leaders Tragic 🇳🇬

[@mimianon9025]

IBB and Abacha eliminated so many in Nigeria back then😢

[@olusolaadesina4623]

May his beautiful soul continue to rest in perfect peace IJMN AMEN

[@hightowerinternationalchur6205]

Well done! Quite informative

[@yinkoos]

His killer is alive today. Giwa's conscience will fight him until his last days. He died becausw he knew something that he was about to disclose.

[@seidumusa2522]

Dele Giwa from Ekperi in Etsako (not Owan as reported) in Edo State.

[@blessedchidon]

It's not something today Nigeria my country

[@mimianon9025]

I wonder what happened to Gloria Okon who was allegedly Maryam’s mule who they lied had died but we all knew was alive as a courier. I love this channel.

[@celestinechekwaszila1433]

Which one is his killers remain unknown, who killed dele, na baba, if you put am gida na you sabi

[@victorolayinka1690]

Babangida has blood on his hands.

[@olayinkaajasin3543]

Thanks.for Saying the truths, Blessed

[@mn7024]

Miriam will see Dele over there 😏

[@zekkyful]

The reason it is still a mystery is because his killers are still alive and trust me, they are still powerful in Nigeria today. Sane goes for the killers of Ken Saro Wiwa, Bola Ige, Funsho Williams, etc.

[@mn7024]

But the secret that was being protected by murdering him, still became public and more. What a waste?

[@soniaatiene-vv4kr]

U are very correct 👍👍👍

[@mimianon9025]

The second tier foreign exchange market over which Dele Giwa was killed caused the dual naira exchange rate and passing of CBN passing money to northerners to sell at parallel rates. Something that caused the co start decline of the Naira. Gen Zs need this channel so urgently instead of their co start shallow talks. The military feared college students and journalists back then as we were not timid or docile nor talked “yansh & sex”. NANS was impactful like American college kids are currently protesting the wars.

[@hakeemojulari7392]

It was established that greed killed Dele Giwa, asking for ministerial post from IBB, and the reason he was happy to receive the letter from the presidency.

[@thejones1893]

Pls do you have an article to back this up ?

[@bensonchukwudi4860]

Everyone then knows it was IBB. The barve Gani Fawehinmi was the only one who stood his ground that IBB was responsible.

[@ezeonyekaanthony3645]

Dele giwa , MKO abiola was assassinated Shonekon was pushed out of office by Abacha, I expected Nigerians especially his people to protest and have this history in mind, but they chose to hate the igbos for no reason

[@richcontent]

My opinion is Babangida is in a position to answer that question, since Giwa was digging deep into Babanga's so called "private affairs" by routing out the whereabouts of Gloria Okon through the French journalist, even though she was declared dead. Today we see David Hundeyin doing something similar with Tinubu.

[@IshakuIbrahimTure-on9zv]

American police is now about to prosecute the killers of Tupac after almost 3 decades,we are still saying "who kill Dele Giwa. And also,the killers of Marshal Harry,Bola Ige and a prominent politicians from Lagos are walking and talking freely. The Nigerian police still has an unsolved homework which must be done to prove their credibility.

[@jayoakzy1489]

Question: Who killed Dele Giwa Answer: Ibrahim Babangida's Government Killed Giwa. No teo ways about it.

[@babatundegabriel8925]

Ondo State native not Edo state

[@Dapada02]

Dele Giwa was from Edo State. He grew up in the palace of Oni of Ife, where his father was the official launderer of the palace.
