Chief Security Officer to Late General Sanni Abacha, Major Hamza Al- Mustafa discharged and acquitted by Lagos Court of Appeal


Chief Security officer to the late former Head of States, General Sani Abacha, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha has been discharged and acquitted by the Court of Appeal in Lagos for the murder of Kudirat Abiola.
The judgment over turns that of the Lagos High Court which sentenced both men to death by hanging.
The presiding judge accused the lower court of being “stroked to secure a conviction by all means.”

He was sentenced to death on January 30 for conspiracy and murder of Mrs. Abiola. Mrs. Abiola, 45, was shot in Lagos on June 4, 1996, as the lower court ruled, on the orders of Mr. Al-Mustapha.
