A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja on Friday, ordered the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice (AGF) Lateef Fagbemi (SAN), to re-open the murder case of Nigerian journalist, Dele Giwa who was killed with a letter bomb in 1986.
The order which was given in a judgment by Justice Inyang Edem Ekwo in a suit against the AGF, held that as the chief law officer of the country, the AGF was under obligation to investigate and prosecute the killers of the founder of Newswatch Magazine.
Justice Ekwo also ordered the AGF to open investigations into the killings of other Nigerian journalists in the discharge of their lawful duties, and perpetrators brought to book in line with the provisions of the law.
