Veteran journalist and human rights activist, Richard Akinnola, has accused former military president, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida of misrepresenting facts surrounding the 1986 assassination of Dele Giwa, the founding editor-in-chief of Newswatch Magazine.
Akinnola, in a detailed rebuttal released on Sunday, dismissed Babangida’s claims in his newly released autobiography, ‘A Journey in Service,’ alleging that the former military leader was being deceptive about his role in the case.
Reacting to Babangida’s denial of involvement in Giwa’s murder, Akinnola said it was not surprising, likening it to how criminal suspects always plead not guilty.
