Former Chief Security Officer to the late Head of State General Sanni Abacha, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, was today discharged and acquitted by the Court of Appeal in Lagos for the murder of Mrs Kudirat Abiola. The judgment overturns that of the Lagos High Court which convicted and sentenced the retired colonel in January 2012 and sentenced him to death by hanging. In their ruling,the Court of Appeal said there was not enough evidence to incriminate Al-Mustapha in the murder of Late Mrs Abiola. Chief MKO Abiola's wife was shot dead on June 4, 1996, on what was alleged to be the orders of Al-Mustapha. But what if he is really a murderer?
