Ikeja, Lagos state – A daughter of Kudirat Abiola, a pro-democracy activist and wife of the late political leader, Moshood Abiola, has spoken about her mother’s assassination.
TimesNow.com.ng recalls that Kudirat was shot dead in Lagos on June 4, 1996.
After the militaryâs annulment of the June 12 1993 presidential elections, which many people believe her husband won, Kudirat got involved with the pro-democracy movement.

Although two suspects were arrested and found guilty of her murder, they were released.
