On 12th of July, 2013, The Court of Appeal in
Lagos discharged and acquitted Major Hamza
Al-Mustapha from the murder of Kudirat
Abiola.
The judgment over turns an earlier verdict passed on the Military Officer by a
Lagos High Court which sentenced him to
death by hanging.The presiding judge
accused the lower court of being “stroked to
secure a conviction by all means. Therefore ,
Major Hamza Almustapha was set free.
This new judgement opens a plethora of questions, what's next
for this military officer? Will the Army re absorb and promote him him? Or will they retire and send him packing ?
After serving 14 years
behind Bars and missing about 4 promotions
in the Army as a result of the trial he had to
Face .
In the history of the Nigerian Army no
precedent has been set with respect to officers
who missed promotions due to long period of
trials .
Most of his colleagues in the army have
attained the Prestigious rank of General
His former course mate now retired colonel
Ibrahim Musa urged the military to re
integrate him
into the Nigerian Army because he is still a
serving military officer.
Lt.Gen Victor Malu declared publicly during the
Oputa panel ,'' that Major Al-Mustapha is a
very capable and competent Army officer who
had always carried out his official duties very
well and diligently."
Major Hamza Al-
Mustapha was a member of the
29th course Of the Nigerian Defence
Academy .
Some have argued that the
experience and intelligence of the Yobe state
born Major Hamza Almustapha will be an
asset to the Nigerian military as it confronts
her greatest post civil war challenge.
However , with most of those who insisted he
was guilty still welding some measure of
influence behind the scenes it is difficult to
predict what the future Holds for this Man

Let him retire or be retired from the military.He shuld go and
Ask God to forgive him for all the innocent blood he spilled.
Let me forever be thanking God for delivering him from d valley
Of the shadow of death.

He shld jst retired an join PDP shikenan!

He should simply be retired . .

That's all . . . .

He contests and becomes the next president of Nigeria. Only in 9ja

He will be given automatic promotion. Sinc he's been found innocent and thereby retired wt all benefits that come along.


Ennjoy the free world, Al-mustapha

Anything is possible in Nigeria. We won't be suprised if Jonathan makes him, his SA on Amaechi affairs/matters. Afterall that is the kind of thing Al mustafa does very well & Amaechi has proven more stubborn than Kudirat, Pa Rewane et al.

[size=20]Under GEJ, all things are possible! [/size]

WELCOME TO APC,you will be useful.

he has been set free, he needs to be re-absorbed into the Military or be retired with every accrued benefits. A rank of Major General won't be a bad idea. Congrat Al Hamza Mustapha on your freedom

Since he's been proven innocent,he's entitled to all peripheral of his occupation. Don't be surprised he's contesting for a political position in his state,and he would also be given a presidential pardon.

Maidoki14: He shld jst retired an join PDP shikenan!

"He shld jst retired". Were you in hurry to click submit?

Al Mustapha is a sure-fire guaranteed Boko Haram terror sponsor in the making, and as such he should be annihilated by drone missile, or by sniper projectile, as a matter of great urgency.

The only "promotion" due to this unrepentant serial murderer would be a promotion to the deepest recesses of Hades, where he can join his horrid little boss, Abacha of the Indian hookers fame.

He Shud not only be Promoted but also be given a Strategic Command to Head eg DMI..
The Man has proven himself a very capable Soldier.
GEJ, I'm sure we have plans for him, don't we?

No one has questioned his intelligence and ability as an excellent soldier its going to be a difficult one but if Ribadu could be saved Almustapha case is on the table

Jakumo: Al Mustapha is a sure-fire guaranteed Boko Haram terror sponsor in the making, and as such he should be annihilated by drone missile, or by sniper projectile, as a matter of great urgency.

Lest not make baseless allegations more people have died or have been murdered under this democratic dispensation than the entire military era
