Below are some of the tweets:

1. Dele Giwa practiced investigative Journalism, something alien to Nigeria in 1986. He allegedly wanted a BRIBE to kill a story #HNNMedia

— Dr Kemi IG@Kemified (@KemiOlunloyo) October 19, 2016

2. Dele Giwa was KILLED by a letter bomb sent to his home 30 years ago today 10/19/86. He thought he was getting a brown envelope of CASH!

— Dr Kemi IG@Kemified (@KemiOlunloyo) October 19, 2016

3. Dele Giwa's story is a model disgrace to investigative Journalism. Journalists in Nigeria continue to take bribes today #Brownenvelopes

— Dr Kemi IG@Kemified (@KemiOlunloyo) October 19, 2016

4. As hard as it is to believe, the Nigerian govt has REFUSED to fully investigate the murder of Dele Giwa. Many conspiracy theories marr it

— Dr Kemi IG@Kemified (@KemiOlunloyo) October 19, 2016

5. Dumb Nigerians are afraid to speak yet they blame it on Ibrahim Babangida the leader at the time saying the story was a drug link to him

— Dr Kemi IG@Kemified (@KemiOlunloyo) October 19, 2016

6. If our leader and his late wife Maryam were actually trafficking drugs, why call yourself a Journalist when u are scared to REPORT it?

— Dr Kemi IG@Kemified (@KemiOlunloyo) October 19, 2016

7. The Babangida drug trafficking/Late First Lady Maryann/Gloria Okon story has NEVER been investigated even by @PoliceNG who had excuses!

— Dr Kemi IG@Kemified (@KemiOlunloyo) October 19, 2016

8. Last year an EX DIG Chris Omenen @PoliceNG said "powerful forces in high places" prevented him from investigating Dele Giwa's MURDER!

— Dr Kemi IG@Kemified (@KemiOlunloyo) October 19, 2016

9. Ex DIG Chris Omeben said he narrowed in on the principal suspect who was allowed to ESCAPE Nigeria.

— Dr Kemi IG@Kemified (@KemiOlunloyo) October 19, 2016

10. Ex DIG Chris Omeben also said that Giwa's relationship with his estranged wife Former Senator Florence Ita-Giwa was a "CARELESS" one!

— Dr Kemi IG@Kemified (@KemiOlunloyo) October 19, 2016

11. What made Kayode Soyinka who sat with Dele Giwa suddenly leave the table when the letter bomb was handed to him by Billy Giwa his son?

— Dr Kemi IG@Kemified (@KemiOlunloyo) October 19, 2016

12. Kayode Soyinka FLED Nigeria and was shielded from being questioned by @PoliceNG and he was the the UK bureau Chief of Newswatch

— Dr Kemi IG@Kemified (@KemiOlunloyo) October 19, 2016

13. Kayode Soyinka consistently said Halilu Akilu, a former army intelligence officer delivered the BOMB as he called 3 times for directions

— Dr Kemi IG@Kemified (@KemiOlunloyo) October 19, 2016

14. In my opinion of the Oputa panel, they made a HUGE mistake not inviting Soyinka to testify. Soyinka saw an inscription in the package

— Dr Kemi IG@Kemified (@KemiOlunloyo) October 19, 2016

15. What inscription was in that letter bomb that Kayode Soyinka saw and handed it back to Dele Giwa? The investigation should remain open

— Dr Kemi IG@Kemified (@KemiOlunloyo) October 19, 2016

16. Ex DIG Omeben should have focused on Togun, Akilu who brought the package and Babangida says Kayode Soyinka. Very shabby investigation!

— Dr Kemi IG@Kemified (@KemiOlunloyo) October 19, 2016

17. At the end of the day Ex DIG Omeben now a Pastor said the WRONG words blaming the poor investigation on officials in "high places"

— Dr Kemi IG@Kemified (@KemiOlunloyo) October 19, 2016

18. @PoliceNg is extremely poor at Murder investigations of public figures. The Attorney General of Nigeria's murder was never solved

— Dr Kemi IG@Kemified (@KemiOlunloyo) October 19, 2016

19. Regardless of a brown envelope or not, SOMEONE delivered a BOMB to Giwa's house and they should be behind bars regardless of their power

— Dr Kemi IG@Kemified (@KemiOlunloyo) October 19, 2016

20. #Nigeria remains #2 in the world for cold murder cases of public figures (NEVER SOLVED). #Jamaica is #1. #RIPDeleGiwa Editor Newswatch
