"if "who killed Dele Giwa and why" are common knowledge, then why has there not been any arrest or prosecution in Nigeria, or the killers are also dead, or are untouchable in Nigeria?"

Those who killed Dele Giwa(they happen to be his friends) are of course "untouchables", which is why the facts are not yet declassified.

"Premier" Opara:
WE (historian) I like to have documentation but not innuendo or speculation. Brother Giwa was someone many of us respected and admired. Do you know that after his death, there were rumors that he might have been killed because he was investigating what Journalists refer to as an "expose" story? There was also the nuanced allegation that the government of the day might be involved for exposing certain criminal and immoral acts in high places. Which one do we believe?
You may not need the book to know the new "facts", but some of us need it. After all, if "who killed Dele Giwa and why" are common knowledge, then why has there not been any arrest or prosecution in Nigeria, or the killers are also dead, or are untouchable in Nigeria?

I extend happy, warm and blessed Thanksgiving greetings from "rainy" Oregon!
I am sharing information on a new book that may be a bombshell. As a "young" university professor and director of an honors program in Louisiana, USA, I always treasured the late NEWSWATCH Editor Dele Giwa's communication asking me to assist his newsmagazine (NEWSWATCH) to get international advertising from some sources that I was familiar with, especially from car-manufacturing companies in USA, Sweden, Germany and the UK. I agreed but, before we could do anything concrete, he was assassinated with a parcel bomb in his office. Please, read the new book.
