The Nigerian Army has confirmed claims made by Major Hamza al-Mustpha that he remains a military officer after his release from detention after 14 years.
The former Chief Security Officer to late General Sani Abacha, told journalists yesterday during his reception by the Kano state government that he is still in the army , a status he claimed the Appeal Court Judges also confirmed in their ruling.
At a briefing by the joint security information committee, the Director of Army Public Relations who was represented by his Chief of Staff, Colonel Joe Agim, said that Major Al-Mustapha, the Chief Security Officer, is still enlisted in the Nigerian Army.
He added that Mustapha’s case will be handled administratively by the Army, in line with the harmonized terms of service.
Major Hamza al-Mustapha and Lateef Shofolahan were on Friday discharged and acquitted in the case of the assassination of Alhaja Kudirat Abiola in 1996.
