There are other possibilities to consider about his death, undecided like maybe he committed suicide, or maybe, undecided

my brothers and sisters, which way Nigeria ? We need to be more prayerful .May God guide our leaders right. Rest in peace, Funso Williams.

erm, I doubt it will shock them much. Lets not forget Bola Ige, the serving Attorney-General was murdered a few years ago. If he can be "deep-sixed" without consequence then the death of an aspirant is unlikely to surprise anyone. undecided

I just heard about this. And the killer(s) probably won't be found. Naija really needs to work on issues like this cause it will only scare away those with good intentions. I mean, just voicing your opinions puts your life in danger, we should work harder on attaining a real democracy. (Although I'm not sure democracy is what naija needs, but anyways.)

P.S. all those who love thier lives should try to stay off the lagos island cos those zones would be veri veri volatile now. angry

Ha, it's like a door bell, Lagosians are used to it. Reminds me of the day Kudirat was killed. There's a heavy hold up around V.I. that's all.
LiquidMind(m): 8:27pm On Jul 27, 2006
Nigerian politics is sick and dirty, imagine criminal & ritualist as our leaders angry
otokx(m): 8:32pm On Jul 27, 2006
Politics is not for the feint hearted and Lagos is one of the maddest places to stay in Nigeria.
aderaskeey(m): 8:43pm On Jul 27, 2006
Any smart observer, like Festus keyamo said, would know that Funsho williams's death is a "dress rehearsal" in the captivity agenda of powers that are bent on capturing Lagos come 2007. The State and her militant governor- Tinubu, has been a thorn enough in their flesh for the past 7 years. Let them be assured that they would meet their waterloo in the hands of the most politically conscious and sophisticated Lagosians, come 2007
Odeku(m): 8:48pm On Jul 27, 2006
it's call destiny, or as my grandmother will say Untimely death, if we know who kill him, it wont be an assassination.
Tmoni(m): 9:34pm On Jul 27, 2006
2007 is still very far off and they are already killing eachother.If a somehow stable state like Lagos is already opening THE MURDER GAME SHOW,what will happen in renowned flash points (RIVERS, BAYELSA,) etc. Its going to be a POLITICAL BLLOD BATH.

MAY GOD GIVE HIM ETERNAL REST AND LOOK OVER ALL OF US STILL ALIVE.
diddy4(m): 9:40pm On Jul 27, 2006
so when are they gonn@ start killing those in my list. they missed their target. Funsho wasnt in my list but he is gon anyway so his case is closed.

let them kill themselves one after the other so good people will lead us from 2007. there is still 10 more to go.

we need pics. lol
Mariory(m): 10:55pm On Jul 27, 2006
You're all assuming his death was politically motivated. Strangulation is a crime of ion. This suggests to me his killer was someone he knew personally rather than hired assasins that is common with political hits.
WesleyanA(f): 10:57pm On Jul 27, 2006
good point.

they could have shot him otherwise.
diddy4(m): 11:39pm On Jul 27, 2006
what are u guys thinking sef? dat dis is FBI or CIA hit crime? this is naija. an assassin can use anything to kill the man. u cant just say cuzz its strangulation dat he wasnt killed by assassins. he is dead lets move on.

I think the road to 2007 elections will be very bloody with the recent murder of Engr. Funsho Williams. What do u nairaland think can be done to avert this type of political assassination in the country?

I believe we all need to get on our knees and start to pray. The devil is on ranpage to suck blood in this nation. The death of Engr. is a warning to all. Please lets pray since the Police and the Army cannot even protect themselves, we need the Host of Heaven to guard this nation; most especially this time around. Pray! Pray!! Nigeria Pray!!!.

methinks the poor guy had "odeishi",so when the bullets and knives couldn't penetrate,they decided to try strangulation. how Aguiyi Ironsi was killed.
Let's just say Funso's Babalawo lacked foresight.

@tianshie well said shocked

Naija people are starting to get into my heart and it is sad to see your pain about this.
Damest09(f): 1:51am On Jul 28, 2006
I don't know the man or heard his name before, can we have some pics of him? what hurt most is that the killers will not be found - they've never solve any political murder case successfully in Nigeria why will this be different?. The remaining people should move on with their life vigilantly. May his soul rest in peace.
babdee21(m): 2:44am On Jul 28, 2006
who killed funsho williams ? Inspector General of police  must be made to give  answers within shortest possible time ,  else he s not fit to POLICE us into 2007  .     IMPEACH HIM  ! grin
toshmann(m): 3:00am On Jul 28, 2006

Thats some very funny argument. You however have no point there.

LOL, pppeople,
DaHitler(m): 4:29am On Jul 28, 2006
The guy was strangleds because he was killed in broad day light. To use a gun would have alerted the people in the area. And since he appears to be living in a secure, GRA style area, the police would have been there in time to intercept the assasins.

And by the way, Jazz is not the reason why he was not killed with a bullet. If Jazz worked, there won't be any Nigeria, and we won't be speaking English.
hoodboi(m): 5:17am On Jul 28, 2006
men this shit is sick, i can't blive he is dead, i've never been so unhappy about someone i don't know personally, he wuz still in my area 3days ago it's jst all so sad dat as some peeps re tryna move naija 4ward some want it to stay in one place.
