On Sunday, Professor Taiyemiwo Ogunade gave a bombshell interview to the NATION newspaper in which he made startling revelations about those who killed Dele Giwa in 1986. In a subsequent chat with Saharareporters, he spoke specifically about the role of former military administrator of Lagos State Buba Marwa in the assassination of the journalist.
Dr. Ogunade disclosed that soldiers loyal to the slain General Mamman Vatsa identified Marwa as the person who delivered the parcel bomb that killed Giwa, the Newswatch magazine founder.
He said the revelation came from a confidential discussion he had with one of the military boys who came to the City University of New York (CUNY) to press the college to train Nigerian military officials in “Peace and Conflict Resolution”. He said that Vatsa gave a four-hour long testimony to the military tribunal that tried and later sentenced him to death for a phantom coup plot against former military dictator, Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida.
Saharareporters: Do you know who delivered the bomb that killed Dele Giwa?
Ogunade: I believe that Buba Marwa did it. Some Mamman Vatsa boys told the full story in New York during a visit to my college to lobby our college to accept to train Nigerian military officers. Ambassador Olusola was on that entourage. [My informant] told me Dele Giwa was killed because he was in possession of a tape containing Vatsa’s testimony before the military tribunal. For four hours, Vatsa requested to tell the full story about how the Babangida regime was operating and his knowledge of the workings of IBB’s mind. He pointed out that after Halilu Akilu and Col. A.K Togun of the military intelligence prepared the parcel it was handed over to Buba Marwa to deliver to Dele Giwa. Marwa is a well–known “IBB boy”. But I was the one who gave Dele Giwa the tape.
Saharareporters: How did you get the tape?
Ogunade: Vatsa had a copy made by his friends in the tribunal and smuggled out to me and I “loaned” it to Dele Giwa who got on the case immediately. I still don’t know how Dele Giwa found out that I had the tape till this day.
Saharareporters: Do you still have a copy?
Ogunade: Yes, but you know I left Nigeria hurriedly after the death of Dele Giwa. I left [the tape] with my aged mother, who did not know the value then. I won’t say more, let the military release that tape to the Nigerian public.
Saharareporters: Did Dele Giwa return the tape to you?
Ogunade: Yes, he returned it after 24 hours. Don’t forget that I loaned it to him; I think he went and played it to Babangida’s people and they eliminated him after they heard the tape.
Saharareporters: What about Gloria Okon? It’s been said that Dele Giwa’s discovery of her was the reason he was killed?
Ogunade: Gloria Okon is actually Chinyere, that’s her real name. She married Charles "Jeff" Chandler, the fellow who killed Nzeogwu and was killed a day later. Chinyere, Maryam and Princess Atta were young friends who hung out together. They all married into the military, because the military was a proud and respectable profession then. Charles Chandler, who was Tiv, married Chinyere who I think is from Imo State. IBB married Maryam from Asaba and Mamman Vatsa married the princess. So Chinyere became a widow and resorted to trading between UK and Nigeria. And then she was caught with drugs; Mamman Vatsa was the person who put Chinyere on the next available flight from Kano to London – and then claimed that she was dead by parading a dead woman picked out of the mortuary. Dele Giwa later found out that she was in London having delivered a baby by another man. He sent a French photographer to the place and they saw Maryam Babangida at the event. Kayode Soyinka brought back the photographs.
Dele was sitting across the table from Kayode examining the photos taken of “Gloria Okon” (Chinyere, Richard Chandler’s wife) at the naming ceremony in London. Maryam Babangida was there. And then a letter parcel was delivered to him and he said excitedly that it must be from “Mr. President” referring to the discussions he had with IBB days earlier. The bomb exploded and severed his lower abdomen; he died a few hours later.
Saharareporters: Did you ever meet Marwa again? And did you ask him about his involvement?
Ogunade: Yes, Marwa was very active in the Nigerian embassy in New York. For a long time he was the “military attaché” to the Nigerian mission in New York while I was a professor of Black Studies at the City University of New York. He came to my college to sign a $30 million contract with the college so that members of the Nigerian military could attend a “Peace and Conflict Resolution program” and then be awarded a masters degree upon completion of the program. I fought bitterly against it, but the chair of the department, John Muyibi Amoda, badly wanted the money. I kept fighting and one day the college authorities acceded to my request. When I got home the college had dismissed me, but also I got a fax message saying the $30 million had been returned to Marwa. But between Marwa and Abacha they never returned that money to the Nigerian treasury. They shared it. I heard between him and Abacha, over $250 million was laundered through an account used by the New York mission of the Nigerian embassy. Marwa later set up an airline with his share of the loot. When he showed up to run for president I was the one who petitioned the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to investigate him. He confessed to money laundering in handwritten statements to the EFCC, but today he is the ambassador of Nigeria to South Africa. The police officer that investigated him, Ibrahim Magu, is permanently suspended from the police force after he was humiliated by the EFCC. It is a shameful country.
Saharareporters: What else did you do?
Ogunade: We helped start the Obama phenomenon in Chicago.
Saharareporters: How?
Ogunade: We fought and exposed Carol Mosley-Braun who was Abacha’s agent in the US Senate. She was removed from the US Senate because she took $5 million from Abacha to help cover his tracks in the US. We exposed her, which was how it became possible for the brilliant Obama to become the US president today. We set the stage for it.

... My fellow Nigerians there are some important questions i think prof. should answer, even if i know that he is not far from the truth of this whole Dele Giwa saga. Prof how could you leave such vital evidence with your aged mother for this long? Why have you chosen to open up after over 20years with such an evidence? Well let me give you the benefit of doubt that you could not be that unreasonable to be too far from this tape, if you have any intention to work with it. As for our leaders,they have so soiled the image of this country internationally that sometimes if i introduce myself to some white people as i am from Nigeria, they run away in fear like am the devil himself. These leaders have made the people suffer so much in poverty in the midst of abundance, no light, educational system is nothing to write home about, they take lives of good people that can make a change like they create life. |

... We have millions of untold stories in Nigeria. It takes a very bold heart to reveal certing information or so called secret of our leaders servant alike! It's unheard off that people of high caliber can decide to take a life away just to seal him or her for life! I pray that God'll deal with all devil incarnate in our polity in His own way and it'll be cleared to all of us that we all on our own. Kudos to Dr. Ogunade. At least, we have a clue to the mystry that surround Dele Giwas' death. Though, the story may not be true in entirety but there are some element of truth in these revealation. |

... Corruption has eaten deep into the fabric of this country, that is the reason behind cronies rising assiduously to defend their satanic fathers. The issue raised by the professor to me has filled the missing gap in Dele Giwa's death. Our rulers have shared our God given wealth leaving the poor masses poorer. No light, no water, no roads. Few individual gather and steel our money and hire some cronies to sing their praise and defend their thievery. The same people have ravaged the Niger Delta using the oil companies, collected their wealth and plunge the people into despicable level of poverty. They turn round and started a high level genocide of the people. Talking about Marwa and his paid cronies. Can Marwa testify how he made his money as an army officer who rose to the level of a Brigadier? The wealth he is currently displaying can it be said to have come from his accumulated saving while in service. It is only in this country people steal public fund and consequently throw the masses they govern into dark alley of abject poverty and the same masses are paid to praise them. For all I know they that steal our wealth God shall revenge the evil they have committed against humanity. Their children shall be vagabonds in the land. They shall be cut off before their time. Justice will elude them at the time of need. Their wickedness shall be upon them and unto their fourth generation. Their children shall beg for bread, when they pray it shall be counted as sin before God. So shall it be in Jesus Name . Amen |

... "In 1996, Moseley Braun made a private trip to Nigeria, where she met with dictator Sani Abacha. Despite U.S. sanctions against that country, due to Abacha's actions, the Senator did not notify, nor register her trip with, the State Department. She subsequently defended Abacha's human rights records in Congress." That was an excerpt from google about senator Carol Mosley-Braun. Now, Check the Prof's statement "We helped start the Obama phenomenon in Chicago"."We fought and exposed Carol Mosley-Braun who was Abacha’s agent in the US Senate. She was removed from the US Senate because she took $5 million from Abacha to help cover his tracks in the US. We exposed her, which was how it became possible for the brilliant Obama to become the US president today.We set the stage for it" CONVINCING ISN'T IT. The issue is about Marwa but for a simple reference made by the distinguish professor about Obama, some imbecile jump into conclusion and vindictively attacked him..Very cheap Idiocy. Good Stuff!

... Unintelligent, Sychophantic, wicked, blood tasty & Shameless critics of Prof...We know that so many of you are scattered around our dear country Nideria looking for someone to devour for a pitance, either with your fangs or lethal weapons or both, that is why you are blind and will forever remain so against global heroes like our prof. My fellow good Nigerians, I urge you to continue to voice out and fight against these devilish thieves and their cohorts who have vowed to use their positions to make our future and the future of our children hell on earth even with GOD's blessings bestowed upon this great nation...Nigeria. Prof thank you for speaking whether late or not. It is better late than never. Now they know that you have decided to talk and that you have some information and evidence against them , they will come after you in so many ways to kill you....But I pray, any man or woman, any power within or without that is planning evil against anyone that has spoken in favour of the truth and the prof, will never see the next day and will die with their evil plan,IJN...AMEN Listen!!!!!!!!!!!! 1. Marwa, if your hands are clean and you are trully a good man... may GOD spare you and bless you. If not May you die the death of a cow at the slaughter...People die the way they live...time is too short. 2.IBB...If you are a good man and your hands are clean...May God's love abide with you...If not...May you die a million times worse than Dele Giwa did, May your corpse never be seen... Peolple die the way they live. 3. Be you politicians or civil servants or expartrates or private people working hard to plunge Nigeria and innocent Nigerians into oblivion and pepertual bondage...soon very soon there will be a divine rearrangement and will die a miserable death for Nigerians to be free. 4. Prof and your likes...May your days be long and may the truth that will manifest hereafter cause men and women, children and aged take up arms and wipeout our common enemies and may God restore to us a decent society once again. 5.

I am busy printing all this jucy stories, then afterward read them. but if i must comment on this topic, even though some people are not favourably disposed to the story, and haven not read it; i believe the story. Marwa's hands are not clean. i have heard this story close to 7 to 10 years now. sahara reporters keep it up. we are being ruled by a cabal, we are under bondage in Nigeria |

... It is such a shame that some blogs are even allowed here.Take a minute or two to read through those trying so hard (yet failing) to discredit the prof to see the line that runs through them all.They are people with little or no education as is characterized by the Nigerian military.The prof raised pertinent issues which are like someone said verifiable.why not do the right thing and check them out instead of castigating the wise old man for what he stands for.How much money and how long will these bloggers get from their "god fathers" that would make them sell their souls so cheap to the devils called nigerian politicians.I love the Lord in that at the end of the day no matter how much money you steal you will evetually die leaving behind all that you have sold your soul for. |

... Prof Ogunade should have tried to help himself better by just keeping silent over the disputable claim on Col. Marwa delivering the deadly percel to the great Dele Giwa. Stories of how Dele Giwa died has been told over and over. It does not make any sense to revisit the issue especially with a conflicting story lines. Prof I am wondering, how could you relate the story of Mamman Vatsa testimony tape to the story of Gloria Okon. It does not make any sense. Why then was a percel bond sent to Dele Giwa? It seems you have a grievance with Col. Marwa as a person, because you virtually used this short interview to mention three negative things against him. We know the antecedents of our military rulers, but its civillians like you, Prof that makes friends with them and teach then how to steal public funds. But Marwa was able to excel in Lagos as Governor at least we know that for records, not any of the misplaced allegations you have raised Prof. Anyway, the important thing is that the power that be eliminated Dele Giwa because they thought he crossed a line, and it has been a frequent settlement phenomenon in Nigeria's dirty poilitcs especially in the recent times. MKO Abiola pays the supreme price, so like Shehu Yar Dua, So was Bola Ige, so was Chief Rewane, so was Mamman Varta and so was Ken Saro Wiwa and many others villian. Please Prof play down on whatever you know about Senator Carol Mosley-Bruan issue, it's not the right moment to lay claim to such role on President Obama's emergence as US President. I don't see the connection. I hope you are not trying to go back home to contest for the Governor of your state or the Senator. It seems you know too much. It may not help the State citizens eventually. |

... Some Nigerian illitrates in this forum do not understand what Professor Dr, Taiyemimo Ogunade meant by setting the stage for President Oboma. If they had not fought to remove corrupt Senator Carol Mosley-Braun(Cum Abacha's Harlot), Oboma would not have ran for the vacant Senate sit from Illinios thus the Presidency as he is today. Nigerians must understand that her Military is corrupt so is the present political leadership. Governance has been convertered into criminal enterprise in Nigeria. |

... Nigerians wake up to simple fact, every Nigerian suspect a foul play in the death of Dele Giwa and pointed accusing fingers to Babagida. The story of Prof. Ogunade is very familiar to the circumstance that led to the death of Dele Giwa. Buba Marwa should step aside as Nigerian diplomat immediately untill he explain his role in the death of Dele Giwa. We know the letter bomb that kill Dele Giwa was delivered by an Army Officer, if not Marwa who is this officer? Nigerians this is the question you must keep asking. |

... The story is full of inconsistencies. It is incoherent. I am ashamed as a Nigerian that a Professor of Nigeria decent could be such disjointed in narrating a story that should better be described as fiction. Please for God sake let us as Nigerians learn to build not destroy other Nigerians. While I never condone illegality and I detest taking of human lives by other humans, I think it is a sin against God for people to just sit and concoct stories so as to destroy others. May God forgive this Professor. |

... Some bloggers here are either MUMU OR sponsored anti-masses bloggers. So you could not see any iota of truth in what the professor said?. Did Marwa not confessed that Abacha money passed through his account or did he not forfeit his presidential ambition after being investigated by EFCC?. Someone said Marwa was a gentleman- a sheer psycophant. We know what bill gate has done to help nigerian children dying of Malaria. What has Marwa done with all the money he stole? Nigerians,the happiest people, the most stupid. Whether what the professor said was true or not only time will tell. See Senator kila that was just removed in Ekiti. This was same man that was rubber stamping the declaration of Oni as governor-elect of Ekiti while shouting "Final Figure". When it was reported that he was caught during the election with pump actions, some of you dispelled the report as mere fabrication. Today, God has proven Himself again through those unintimidatable judges at the court of appeal. I know that Whether Marwa,Obasanjo or Babangida o, they shall be visited by God and all of you will once again say ALLAH AKBAR! |

... well, i am suprised a lot of people still look back and question the death of Dele Giwa, this story had been a rumoured friction around nigeria for years..IBB knocked dele giwa,Marwa delivered the letter bomb..hmm it is not a new story..but the interesting aspect of this revelation is we have heard the part of the prof laying accusations at a certain person..ok Mr Marwa come out and defend yourself if this is not true..habi now! |

... Abacha created Umoru Musa Yar'adua presidency by causing the general to die in prison. What a hillarious comic relief. Gen Marwa should please concentrate on his job and ignore this spent petition writer who now wants to make money with Vatsa tapes after his wife and family were almost wiped out by hunger.You guys at Sahara reporters had better not pay him a dime...gold digger. Gen Marwa is a decent gentleman.If yu have evidence of any crime by him ,you should since have sent your report to the Inspector General of Police. for you guys who never believe any thing positive about nigeria and our leaders,,,,,how about emigrating to Chad or Niger or Sierra Leone or Liberia or even Sudan... |

... Dear Nigeria readers, I want you all to ponder on one thing. If the accusation by the prof against Marwa/IBB is untrue, why can't we just relax and wait for the duo or their proxy like prince oyinlola to react. We are to much in a hurry to judge. Because we lack sense of history we forget event too soon. I hope someone is not going to disclaim the complicity of Abacha in the death of Abiola someday because we are too quick in rising to the defense of wicked people. If the prof is lying about these events, let wait for the actors to react. Afterall Soyinka (Late Giwa deputy) is still alive and has his own side of the story. |

... People, i am 200% sure that those writing to vendicate Buba have some inclinations/sentiments(paid or voluntary) for him. "The anus will be nice to produce trumpet sound but the question is who will agree to use his mount for this trumpet" Prof decided to donate his mount for this course, so kudos Prof. But my problem with Prof is why did it take so long to release vital information like this? What suddenly prompted you to speak up? and even at speaking up you are not giving the full details. Please go ahead and release Vatsa's tape on the internet ! ie if you still have the info. If possible go to international human right organizations and courts and deliver the truth you have. Don't consider this a personal thing between you and some ex office holders. It is purely a public affair. If you love this our dear country Nigeria ......Please go ahead and tell us more and back up with actions. See how Ribadu has delivered so far. IF I AM MADE A PRESIDENT THIS SECOND, MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WILL BE RIBADU AS EFCC CHAIRMAN AND PROBABLY IG OF NIGERIAN LAW KEEPERS. MY SUGGESTION: PROF PLEASE PUT A PETITION THROUGH TO EFCC ON THIS MATTER AND LET'S SEE HOW MR PRESIDENT HANDLES THIS ONE. I BELIEVE HE IS CLEANER THAN MOST PUBLIC NIGERIANS. |

... There is every reason to believe that Lawal Momoh who wrote a comment on this story on 13 June 2009, is an anti-blogger! Not because he dismissed what the Prof said (that's his right) but he knew that the person accused in the story, who must have read or heard of it, has yet to react to the story or deny being an (innocent/culpable) actor or not involved at all, in the tragic event! So why would Lawal jump the gun and clear the accused of the allegation if he was a sincere commentator? Thank God we are not equally foolish and subterfuges are often easily seen through and shredded. Anti-blogging is a waste of time and money. |

... Why must uninformed Nigerians comment on issues they do not have idea about, Sahar Reporters did a ngood job here and Prof. Ogunade was succintly clear here with dates, names, places and facts to butress his claims. The better thing to do before castigating Sahara Reporters and the old Prof. is to check out this claims and come up with traceable counter evidence to prove the old Prof a liar otherwise the prof and sahara Reporters will stand justified in the court of public opinion in Nigeria. This story has been in the press for so long, if they are lies, why cant Buba Marwa and/or IBB ever come out to counter it and why has police investigations of socio-political assasinations in Nigeria never yield a result to give justice a chance in Nigeria. From Dele Giwa to Bola Ige, Mashal Harry to the latest of them all, the PDP chairman in Edo State. After all their propaganda, nothing comes out of the investigations and no is ever heard again untill another man is gunned down again and so the cycle goes. The Question still hangs BOLDLY in the air: WHO KILLED DELE GIWA? The Nigerian government have the facts, it will forever remain a mark of irresposibility on the part of the government if the assasination of it's citizens are shrouded in mysteries. The govt. owes us the duty of security of our lives and properties. I challenge the Yar'Adua govt. to make bold and true it's 7 point agenda amongst which is the promotion of the rule of law, to open up investigations into all the assasinations that ever took place in Nigeria. Long live Sahara Reporters, Long live Naija. |

He was only trying to educate us about how unknowingly to him and others, the action they took in exposing the lady senator eventually resulted in Obama replacing her and the rest is history. I don't think he was self - praising. Moreover, all he said, are still verifiable, if we take our time to find out. Please, lets reasonably approach issues and give kudos where due. Prof good job.

Please let us note that the corrupt leaders we try to expose on forums like Saharareporters have moved one step ahead by employing full time bloggers who readily attack anybody that tries to expose them on this medium.Though not all the stories may be entirely accurate, there is also a good reason to belief them going by the very bad state of the country and the stupendous wealth at the disposal of these past and present corrupt leaders. Lets not be deterred in exposing their corrupt activities.We cannot afford to keep quiet for them to continue to perpetuate their greed against the majority of the people of this country. |

I think Dele Giwa deserved what he got .Everything about Nigerian Government is Bizarre,most probable reason why the story sounds so.
