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

Dis case is too "big"for my experience Oo.....Leme watch and learn..........................


Waiting for the experts !!!

Doing that is a security risk.

The Retardeen is full of surprises. Won't be disappointed if the Drunkard reinstates him.
