Al-Mustapha
The home of Al-
Mustapha’s in Kano,
Kano state was on
Saturday besieged by
hundreds of people carry
placards during the third
day Fidau Prayer for the
mother of Chief Security
Officer,CSO, to the late
head of State,General Sani
Abacha,Major Hamza Al-
Mustapha calling for his
release.
The sympathisers who
came in drove to the
family house of the
embattled former CSO
expressed bitterness and
anger over the absence
of Major Al-Mustapha who
is currently in jail for not
being released to bury his
mother.
Hajia Fati Al-Mustapha,
the mother of the
detained Military officer
died after a protracted
illness last week.
The condolence register
at the family house
further described the
mood of the people over
the travails of the Al
Mustapha as the
inscription such as”Free
Al-Mustapha,he has paid
enough sacrifices”,
“Don’t allow him to die
there”, “The refusal of
the government to allow
him to join other members
of his family to mourn the
death of his mother is an
attestation that somebody
want him dead”
“Jonathan free this
man,Haba!”, and soon.
Most of the people who
spoke to our
correspondent said the
situation is pathetic and
saddening that the military
officer should continue to
remain in jail.
One of the persons who
spoke to journalists at
the event that simply
gave his name as Mallam
Rabiu Ali said the Al
mustapha was in prison
when his father died and
the authority did not allow
him to bury his
father,regrettably,the
same thing has again
happened during his
mother’s death.
Hadi Al Mustapha,who
stood for the family rose
to contain the situation
that almost turned rowdy
by pacifying the well-
wishers to seek solace
from the Almighty Allah
stressing that”We must
not forget that destiny
must play its rules in the
affairs of a man and that
is what Hamza is
currently facing now”
Hadi who was in tears
reminded the crowd that
the family had since filed
an appeal contesting
against the verdict of the
Lagos High Court adding
that he is confident that
his brother,family and all
the well wishers shall
over come the night mare.
Major Hamza Al-Mustapha
was arrested in
connection with the death
of prominent Nigerians and
other atrocities by the
federal government after
his reign as the chief
security officer,CSO to
the late maximum leader of
Nigeria,General Sani
Abacha immediately the
inglorious regime was
terminated by the sudden
death of Abacha.
