Convicted former presidential Chief Security Officer, Major Hamza al-Mustapha, and his co-convict, Lateef Shofolahan, have challenged the death sentence passed on them by a Lagos High Court on Monday.

Mustapha was the CSO to the late head of state, Gen. Sani Abacha, while Shofalahan was an aide to Kudirat.

Both men filed separate notices of appeal at the Court of Appeal, Lagos against the judgment of a Lagos High Court. The high court had on Monday sentenced them to death for the murder of the late Alhaja Kudirat Abiola.
Justice Mojisola Dada, in the judgment, said the convicts are to die by hanging “until pronounced dead.”
However, in their notices of appeal filed at the Court of Appeal, Lagos at about 1.50pm on Tuesday, the each of the convicts sought for an order of the appellate court allowing the appeal and setting aside the judgment.

Just like Gadaffi,Sadam Hussein held their country at the jogular,so did Al-Mustapha and late Abacha held Nigerians at the jogular.They forgot that people they slaughtered at will had families and children.Now the vengeance of the Almighty God has come up,his family is SHOCKED. Same thing,very soon shall be the portion of these Boko Haram members and their families, insha Allah.
