He also served as Federal Minister of Justice for Nigeria. He was murdered in December 2001.[1] BackgroundJames Ajibola Idowu Adegoke Ige was born in Esa Oke, Osun State in the South Western part of Nigeria on 13 September 1930. His parents were Yoruba natives of Esa-Oke town, in the old Oyo State (now in Osun State). Bola Ige left Kaduna and headed south to the Western region at the age of 14. He studied at Ibadan Grammar School (1943–48), and then at the University of Ibadan. From there, he went to the University College London where he graduated with a Law degree in 1959. He was called to the bar in London's Inner Temple in 1961.[1] Bola Ige established Bola Ige & Co in 1961, and later became a Senior Advocate of Nigeria.[2] He became well known in the country for his oratory prowess, as well as his advocacy work on civil rights and democracy. Bola Ige's faith was Christianity.[3][4] Uncommonly, Bola Ige spoke all the three major Nigerian languages, Yoruba, Ibo and Hausa fluently.[6] He wrote several books, and an anthology of articles and tributes about him was published shortly after his death. Early political careerDuring the First Republic (1963–1966), at age 31 he was at the centre of the Action Group crisis, when Chief Obafemi Awolowo was pitted against his deputy, Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola.[7] He became a rival of Olusola Olaosebikan for succession to Obafemi Awolowo.[5] Bola Ige was a Commissioner for Agriculture in the now-defunct Western Region of Nigeria (1967–1970) under the military government of General Yakubu Gowon. In 1967 he became a friend of Olusegun Obasanjo, who was a commander of the army brigade in Ibadan.[6] In the early 1970s, during the first period of military rule, he devoted his time to the anti-racism campaign of the World Council of Churches.[1] Towards the end of the 1970s he joined the Unity Party of Nigeria (UPN), the successor to the Action Group.[1] When General Olusegun Obasanjo initiated the Second Republic, he was elected as governor of Oyo State from October 1979 to October 1983.[2] Adebisi Akande, later to be governor of Osun State after it was split off from Oyo State, was his deputy governor during this period.[7]In the 1983 elections, when he ran for re-election as the UPN candidate, he was defeated by Dr. Victor Omololu Olunloyo. Ige unsuccessfully challenged the election in court. However, Olunloyo lost the seat three months later to a coup staged by Generals Muhammadu Buhari and Tunde Idiagbon.[8] Ige Bola was detained after the coup, accused of enriching himself with party funds. He was released in 1985, after the next coup, by Ibrahim Babangida, and returned to his legal practice and to writing. In 1990, he published People, Politics And Politicians of Nigeria: 1940–1979, a book that he had begun while imprisoned. He was a founder member of the influential Yoruba pressure group, Afenifere. Although critical of the military rule of General Sani Abacha, Bola Ige avoided political difficulties during this period.[1] Third RepublicFollowing the restoration of democracy in 1999, Bola Ige sought the nomination of the Alliance for Democracy party as a presidential candidate, but was rejected. President Obasanjo appointed Bola Ige as minister of Mines and Power (1999–2000).[9] He was not able to make significant improvements to service provided by the monopoly National Electric Power Authority (NEPA).[10] He then became Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (2000–2001).[2] In September 2001 Bola Ige said that the Federal government had initiated a program to re-arrange and consolidate the laws of the Federation, publish them in digital form, and make them available on the website of his ministry.[11] He campaigned ardently against the imposition of the Sharia law in the northern states of Nigeria.[1] In November 2001 he said that the Federal government would not allow the Sokoto State government to execute the judgement of a verdict passed by a Gwadabawa sharia court to stone a woman, Safiya Hussaini to death for committing adultery.[12] Bola Ige was about to take up a new position as a member of the United Nations International Law Commission when he was gunned down in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital. DeathOn 23 December 2001, Bola Ige was shot dead at his home in the south-western city of Ibadan. He had been entangled in squabbles within his Alliance for Democracy party in Osun State. The previous week, the long-running feud between Osun state Governor Bisi Akande and his deputy, Iyiola Omisore, had apparently contributed to the death of an Osun State legislator, Odunayo Olagbaju.[13] The government of President Olusegun Obasanjo deployed troops in south-western Nigeria to try to prevent a violent reaction to the murder.[14] Although various people were arrested and tried for involvement in the murder, including Iyiola Omisore, all were acquitted.[15] As of November 2010 the killers had not been found.[16] He was buried in Ibadan.[17] In a speech at his funeral, he was quoted as saying that he was sure that Nigeria was worth living for but he was not so sure that it was worth dying for.[18] Books
