The police boss also produced a witness who was covered with a white veil.
He disclosed that it was the witness who identified the suspects as killers of Ige and that all of them were being detained at the Ikoyi Prisons at the time of the crime.
Police sources also told P.M.News that N50 million was recovered from the accounts of the baron (Alhaji Moshood) when he was arrested.
Ehindero disclosed further that police investigations revealed that Alhaji Moshood bought a ram, jersey and table tennis balls for prison inmates when he learnt that Ige had been killed by his men.
The police boss said the witness was able to identify them all because he was also at the Ikoyi Prisons with the suspects.
But while speaking with journalists, Alhaji Moshood denied that he masterminded the murder of Ige.
He dismissed police allegations that he bought and killed a ram to celebrate the murder of Ige, saying that he always buys ram every sallah celebration when he was in prison.
Alhaji Moshood said he had a lot of respect for Ige even though he was prosecuting him. The suspect also disclosed that he saw Ige once when he was brought to court.
He said he didn’t have to kill Ige because he had been granted bail.
Another suspect, Oluna Tony Olasekan, denied participating in Ige’s murder.
He revealed that he had been in prison six years before Alhaji Moshood was brouight to the prison.
He said he was arrested in Ikire in a robbery operation and denied knowing Moshood.
The veiled witness also gave account of how Alhaji Moshood recruited the suspects for the dastardly murder.
He said Alhaji Moshood was staying in the Aso Rock section of Ikoyi Prisons at the time the crime was committed.Before the suspects were paraded today, Ehindero had kept journalists waiting for several hours at the conference hall of his office on the 7th floor of Louis Edet House, Abuja.
Some of the journalists became angry but had to wait until the suspects were evetually paraded.
On Wednesday this week, Ehindero had shelved the planned parade of the suspects after keeping over 70 local and international journalists waiting for several hours.
That day, four suspects were brought in briefly and taken away almost immediately, an action many believed was taken to prevent journalists from asking the suspects questions.
President Olusegun Obasanjo had said that a drug baron masterminded the killing of Ige on 23 December, 2001, a remark echoed by Ehindero which has attracted widespread condemnation from members of the Ige family and many quarters.
