dc.description | This biography has been written with only one objective in mind: to present a clear and, as much as possible, full picture of Dele Giwa, whose assassination on 19 October 1986, rocked the entire nation. Dele Giwa was at once a complex and straightforward person, strong willed and sentimental; a leader who, at times, like most leaders, was only a child. Actual work began on this project late in January 1987. It was completed about eight months later. While reporting and researching the book, the authors spoke to nearly all the central—and some peripheral—players in the drama that was Giwa’s life. We are confident that the information provided within this volume is factual, as much as the authors were able to determine. It is possible that some errors may be found, for which we accept full responsibility. Where we were not absolutely certain, we have refrained from jumping to conclusions. | |
