The National Chairman, Action Congress of Nigeria, Chief Bisi Akande, has condemned the allegation by Maj.-Gen. Hamza al-Mustapha, the Chief Security Officer to the late Gen Sani Abacha, who alleged that prominent Yoruba leaders were culpable in the death of Chief MKO Abiola, the acclaimed winner of June 12, 1993 presidential election.

In the same vein, Muyiwa Ige, the son of the late Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Chief Bola Ige, who was murdered in his Ibadan home on December 23, 2001, described al-Mustapha as demented.

Speaking with our correspondent on the telephone, on Wednesday , Muyiwa expressed shock at the allegation of Al-Mustapha, saying the former CSO “is suffering from hallucination.”

Muyiwa, who repeatedly paused and said “ha” during the eight-minute telephone interview with our correspondent, stressed that Al-Mustapha’s allegations were “senseless and reprehensible.”

He said, “The two personalities he has mentioned have great achievements that cannot be rubbished by anyone. Why has he mentioned only the names of dead people?”

A text by Muyiwa said, “It is obvious that the guy is demented. He is barking up the wrong tree. Thirteen years later, a hallucinating killer is seeking attention. He needs psychiatric attention.

“A killer should not be allowed to attempt to rubbish the legacies of distinguished Nigerian statesmen and revered Yoruba leaders that have gone to the great beyond.

“Why hasn’t he mentioned the names of people who are alive that could contradict his lies? Nigerians are sensible people, who can read between the lines. I don’t think Al-Mustapha should be dignified with a reply. He’s seeking attention.”

Media aide to Akande, Mr Lani Baderinwa, who spoke with our correspondent, on Wednesday evening said “Al-Mustapha is a liar and a joker. Why has he not named one living person in his stupid allegation?”

The Director of Research and Strategy, Osun ACN, Mr Sunday Akere, described al-Mustapha as “a jester, who is being sponsored. Why has it taken him more than a decade to say this rubbish?”

Beaf:

Unfortunately, the court deems Mustafa to be mentally fit.

The tape needs to be played in court and subjected to legal scrutiny. Mustafa is under oath and the court is bringing itself to ridicule by postponing the playing of the tape. It is also endangering the case against Mustafa, if the courts irresponsible actions allow all and sundry to begin making all sorts of comments.

Pandora's box has been opened and nothing anybody says outside that court can close it. That tape must be played.

OmoLisabi:

Your bigotry will never allow you to tell the truth. When did playing a tape of people coming outside of Aso rock translates to collecting bribe?
Na wa for you o.

Na true talk. The guy na mad man. Challenging dead people to a contest is nothing but pure symptom of Hallucination.
Maybe Adesanya and Ige are chasing him in his dreams.

igbo boy:

You make sense here

But the bigotry u accuse beaf of is well known to be your modus operandi here on NL

your response above is based on him insulting your heros, The courts have ruled him sane and thus legally competent to stand trial,

As for me i'll rather sit back and watch the drama unfold, out of all the SW leader that opened their mouth, it was the opc leader that sounded like someone who has nothing to hide, the rest just say no be me and yoruba can never be bribed

some people are saying yoruba leaders can never take bribe (so are yorubas are above money now? ) Nobody is a saint whether na igbo yoruba or hausa man,

maimalari:

its not only dead people. abdulsalami abubakar is alive. he willl be arrested and questioned in due course i believe. more names will be exposed as this nation and its past and present leaders are bunch of blood-thirsty criminals.

OmoLisabi:

How many posts i posted here that you are accusing me of bigotry?
You seem to be paranoid.

Roland17:

I have maintained without fear or bias that the conspiracy behind Abiola's death was hatched by the Yoruba's, wen it was time for the tape to be played, a sitting court of over 2hours becomes too hot for Justice Mojisola Dada to grant the order for the tape to be played!!!!! Mustapha being sane or insane should not affect the playing of a strong evidence such as the tape!!, my only fear is that the next time the tape is played, it would have been doctored, but i trust Mustapha, he is way tooooooo intelligent, his military intelligence and strategic planning is unrivaled in the Military set up of Modern Nigeria, i know he has made enough copies of the tape.  

Yinkay:

has condemned the allegation by Maj.-Gen. Hamza al-Mustapha, the Chief Security Officer to the late Gen Sani Abacha

when did al-Mustapha became a Major General?

how are the issues being raised by Mustapha now relevant to the case at hand of murdering a woman Kudirat Abiola in cold blood,Mustapha is just, that was how his case was so prolonged.

Remii:

Let us just hope the video will not turn out to be the kind Abacha had for Diya's coup which was without audio and had him changing clothes. He was showing this for visitors to the Aso rick until Awujale challenged the autenticity of the video clip.

Some SW leaders met Abacha at a time, that was why some people like Jakande, Ebenezer Babatope and co served in Abacha government. They were asked by the same SW to leave the govt, they refused. People like Babatope became apologist for Abacha and became virtually politically irrelivant after his death So if the video has no voice, I will be very suspecious of facts form it.
