Former Registrar of JAMB, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, shared details about the last 24 hours he spent with the late Kudirat Abiola before her assassination in 1996 during a ThisDay Live interview. Oloyede disclosed this information while explaining his decision not to write a memoir at this point in time, citing the potential for sensitive information to reopen old wounds or create unnecessary controversies.
He recounted being with Kudirat Abiola, wife of the presumed winner of the 1993 presidential election, Chief Moshood Abiola, during her final hours of life just before she was killed. Oloyede emphasized that while he has witnessed numerous historic events, some experiences are best left undocumented, as he believes certain information should remain unshared to avoid stirring disputes or causing further conflict.
Kudirat Abiola, a prominent figure in the fight for the June 12, 1993 presidential election following her husband's detention, was assassinated on June 4, 1996, in Lagos while actively campaigning for her husband's release and the return of democracy to Nigeria.
