Today, 19 of October 2016 clocks marks exactly 30 Years Dele Giwa who practiced investigative journalism was murdered through a letter bomb.

Controversial Journalist, Kemi Olunloyo, revealed in a series of tweets top secrets you probably didn’t know about the 1986 case.

Kemi well known for her courage and straight attacks on high profile individuals and groups accused the Nigerian Police Force of Being Extremely Poor at Murder Investigations.

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 Olunloyo🇳🇬 (@drkemiofnigeria) 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 Olunloyo🇳🇬 (@drkemiofnigeria) 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 Olunloyo🇳🇬 (@drkemiofnigeria) 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 Olunloyo🇳🇬 (@drkemiofnigeria) 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 Olunloyo🇳🇬 (@drkemiofnigeria) 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 Olunloyo🇳🇬 (@drkemiofnigeria) 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 Olunloyo🇳🇬 (@drkemiofnigeria) 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 Olunloyo🇳🇬 (@drkemiofnigeria) October 19, 2016

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

— Dr Kemi Olunloyo🇳🇬 (@drkemiofnigeria) 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 Olunloyo🇳🇬 (@drkemiofnigeria) 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 Olunloyo🇳🇬 (@drkemiofnigeria) 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 Olunloyo🇳🇬 (@drkemiofnigeria) 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 Olunloyo🇳🇬 (@drkemiofnigeria) 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 Olunloyo🇳🇬 (@drkemiofnigeria) 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 Olunloyo🇳🇬 (@drkemiofnigeria) 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 Olunloyo🇳🇬 (@drkemiofnigeria) 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 Olunloyo🇳🇬 (@drkemiofnigeria) 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 Olunloyo🇳🇬 (@drkemiofnigeria) 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 Olunloyo🇳🇬 (@drkemiofnigeria) 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

— Dr Kemi Olunloyo🇳🇬 (@drkemiofnigeria) October 19, 2016
