Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, The former Chief Security Officer to late Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha, was discharged and acquitted Yesterday by the Court of Appeal in Lagos for the murder of Kudirat Abiola.
The judgment overturns that of the Lagos High Court which convicted and sentenced the him in January 2012 and sentenced him to death by hanging.
The Court of Appeal, in their ruling, said; the evidence was not enough to incriminate Al-Mustapha in the murder of Late Mrs Abiola.
Chief MKO Abiola's wife was shot dead on June 4, 1996, on what was alleged to be the orders of Al-Mustapha.
