Major Hamza al-Mustapha, former chief security officer to the late General Sani Abacha, and a co-accused to know fate over the killing of the late Kudirat Abiola.

Twelve years ago when they were arraigned before a Lagos State High Court sitting in Ikeja over alleged complicity in the murder of Alhaja Kuditrat Abiola, the wife of the billionaire businessman cum politician, Bashorun M.K.O. Abiola, it appeared that judgment in the case will not come.

However, tomorrow will be a significant day for the nation’s judiciary as well as the family of the late Kudirat Abiola, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha and his co-accused, Alhaji Lateef Sofolahan, when Justice Mojisola Dada, sitting in High Court, Lagos Division, will deliver judgment on the controversial case. Whichever way the pendulum of the judgment swings, it will either add more injuries to the 12 years Al-Mustapha and his co-accused have spent in prison or make them free men.

The duo of Al-Mustapha and Sofolahan had earlier been accused of complicity in the murder of Kudirat alongside Mohammed Abacha, son of the late head of state, General Sani Abacha, and former head of Mopol in Aso Rock, ASP Mohammed Rabo Lawal.

They were arraigned alongside former Chief of the Army Staff (COAS), Gen. Ishaya Bamaiyi (rtd), the former Lagos State police boss, Mr. James Danbaba and Lt Col Jibrin Bala Yakubu, former military administrator of Zamfara State in another criminal charge of attempting to snuff life out of the late Guardian publisher, Mr. Alex Ibru, and a former commissioner for sports in Delta State, Mr. Isaac Porbeni, in 1996.
