The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA), has called on the National Judicial Council (NJC) to probe the prosecutors who handled Maj. Hamza Al-Mustapha's case.
.
The call is contained in a statement issued on Monday in Abuja and jointly signed by the National Coordinator of the association, Mr Emmanuel Onwubiko, and the National Media Affairs Director, Miss Zainab Yusuf.
.
Al-Mustapha, a former Chief Security Officer to the late Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha, was sentenced to death on Jan. 30 last year over the murder of Kudirat Abiola on June 4, 1996 in Lagos.
.
Kudirat was the wife of the presumed winner of the 1993 presidential election, Chief MKO Abiola, who died on July 7, 1998.
.
Al-Mustapha was on Friday released from the Kirikiri Maximum Prisons, Lagos, following his discharge and acquittal of a murder charge by the Court of Appeal in Lagos.
