Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, former Chief Security Officer to the late Head of State, General Sani Abacha, says he has forgiven those behind his 14 years sojourn in prison.
.
In an interview aired on BBC Hausa Service, yesterday, the former Abacha security goon said "there was conscious effort by those behind my travail to paint me black before the whole world, but my gratitude goes to God for allowing truth to triumph over falsehood". He spoke about 24 hours after the Court of Appeal set him free.
.
Al-Mustapha stated: "The last 14 years of my life was spent between solitary confinement that lasted five years and three months and detention in about 32 facilities located within the northern and southern parts of the country."
.
Supporters and well-wishers of the freed former CSO were, yesterday, said to be planning to hold a rally for honour their hero.
There is nothing as good and forgiving and forgetting when someone offends u. That is the will of God for every man.
