The case concerning Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, the "dangerous" ex-Chief Security
Officer, CSO, to the late military dictator, Gen Sani Abacha, has come to a close, as he has being
set free by an Appeal Court.
Al-Mustapha had been convicted and sentenced to d*ath for the
assassination of late Kudirat Abiola, wife of the winner of the June 12,
1993 presidential election. But the Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos ruled otherwise...
The court overturned the conviction of the lower court which sentenced
Al-Mustapha and his co-accused, Lateef Shofolahan, to d*ath. Sources told Naijarealgists that the
court's decision has been sending shockwaves across Nigeria. But for
Al-Mustapha and his supporters, its party time.
