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.
