The report just reaching us confirmed that the Action Congress of Nigeria ACN has intensified discussion with Northern emirs to lobby Al Mustapha to fly the flag of ACN in the 2011 presidential election. When Al Mustapha was contacted last night he confirmed that some chieftains of ACN has visited him while in prison to draft him into the presidential elections immediately they got wind of the fact that he will be released anytime in early December. He however have not made a clear statement on whether he has accepted the offer or not,

Was he ever convicted? If no y d ill wish for him?

He was a soldier under command, pure and simple. Did his Nairaland critics watch him before d Justice Okputa panel? Even d respected Justice commended him at some points n couldn hardly find fault wt him. He is much more reasonable dn many of his critics on Nairaland when he speaks in his defense.

It's unfortunate dt he Ws involved in such cruel acts, bt despite all, how many of us would do otherwise if we were in his shoes? How many were in his position and did differently? By d way, I guess d case is still in court, so don't let us b prejudicial.

This is the simple truth. The guy is a soldier. His duty is to follow orders. Would anyone of us here like to be held without trail for even one week?

NO! he failed at his job!
Based on our hypothetical, he
obeyed an unlawful order.
If Al-Mustapha killed those people based on Abacha's direct order, call it occupational hazard or whatever, he should be sentenced to death. No sensible military anywhere
including Nigeria will write a law that forces Military officers to obey unconstitutional orders. He had a right to refuse Abacha's orders and suffer the possible consequences as a "gallant Nigerian soldier" -including death.

totorimi:

The planned release of Al-Mustapha is also expected to boost the chances of President Jonathan in securing the support of the North for his rumoured bid to contest for the office next year. Key gladiators in the race are from the North, particularly former military President, General Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida (IBB), former Vice President Atiku Abubakar and another former military ruler, Major General Muhammadu Buhari.

According to a Northern leader, who is a former Military Administrator, there are fears in some quarters that the way Jonathan is going about the release of Mustapha, he (Jonathan) might appoint the former CSO as the National Security Adviser (NSA) to replace General Aliyu Gusau who recenly resigned his appointment to join the presidential race.

The source added: “After a series of meeting, people from the presidency have consistently told us that General Theophilus Danjuma is insisting on the release and elevation of Al-Mustapha as the NSA,” the source said, adding that releasing Mustapha would help Jonathan gain more northern support in 2011.

“If Jonathan releases Al-Mustapha, that will give him more support because a lot of people from the North love Mustapha and we want him released because we want a person in the age of Mustapha who should take up the mantle of leadership in the North.

bidemi12:

what you have just said is "i will commit murder because my boss told me to". . . . . . . The reason you talk the way you do is because you are not informed. you have been exposed to the nigerian army/thugs so you think it is the same eslewhere. Trust me it is not.

Sagamite:

Abegi!!!

It is because he is reetarded.

When sun rays of 34 degrees centigrade is frying his brains for hours a day, everyday, and he has no nootropic foods in his diet, it is pretty hard to be sane and say something intelligent.

There are millions of Nigerians in the same boat like that. Mooorons!

bidemi12:

sagamite my guy, i don tire. i don de get migrane because of people wey de NL. I often ask myself "is this how nigerians really think?". Issues that are so clear and obvious will bring out all kinds of weired reactions from people who claim to be schooled and informed. if this is a reflection of the psychy of nigerians then we are doomed.

Sagamite:

It is because of cretins, reetards and moorons here that are telling us soldiers have to follow orders, be loyal and be honourable in murder that the GREAT Fela gave us this hoping we would start using our brains:

but i know that that day will come.

[size=18pt]Argentina former leader Jorge Videla jailed for life[/size]

Former Argentine military ruler Jorge Videla has been sentenced to life in prison for crimes against humanity.

A court in the central Argentine city of Cordoba found Gen Videla, 85, guilty of murdering dissidents during the country's period of military rule between 1976 and 1983.

The general has been accused of being the main architect of what became known as Argentina's "Dirty War".

Up to 30,000 people were tortured and murdered under military rule.

'Criminally responsible'

The judges ruled that Gen Videla would have to serve his life sentence in a civilian prison.

He was already serving a life sentence for abuses committed during military rule, but had enjoyed special privileges after he was first sentenced in 1985.

The judges said Gen Videla was "criminally responsible" for the torture and deaths of 31 prisoners in Cordoba.

Most of the left-wing activists were taken from their cells in the central city of Cordoba and shot dead shortly after the military took power.

The army said at the time that they were killed while trying to escape.

Gen Videla was one of 30 members of the security forces charged with the murders.

Gen Luciano Benjamin Menendez, who the judges said played a crucial part in the "Dirty War" against leftist activists, was also sentenced to life in prison.

The court said Gen Videla would be transferred to a civilian prison "immediately", while Gen Menendez would undergo medical tests to determine if he was fit to be transferred to a local prison.

Pardon revoked

During the trial, Gen Videla took responsibility for the army's actions during his rule.

He said that the country's troops were following his orders during what he described as an "internal war".

Gen Videla had been sentenced to life in prison for torture, murder and other crimes in 1985, but was pardoned in 1990 under an amnesty given by the president at the time, Carlos Menem.

In April 2010, the Supreme Court upheld a 2007 federal court move to overturn his pardon, clearing the way for the court case which ended with his life sentence on Wednesday.

Sagamite:

Our Zombie reetards want us to think our people that killed citizens are national heroes and honourable men. Sick, mooronic mentality.

Here is what Argentina is doing to its own murderers.
