		Babangida was first summoned when the commission commenced sitting in Lagos, when Gani Fawehinmi, Abubakar Tsav, former Lagos police commissioner, and Newswatch directors took the case of Giwa’s murder to the commission.
		Tsav told the Oputa commission that because the Babangida administration was privy to Giwa’s assassination, it suppressed proper investigation and prosecution of principal suspects in the case.
