THE Lagos State Government has filed a 14-ground appeal before the Supreme Court to justify why the apex court should set aside the decision of the Appeal Court which discharged and acquitted Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, the former Chief Security Officer, CSO, to late General Sani Abacha and Lateef Shofolahan, of complicity in the murder of Alhaja Kudirat Abiola.
.
Kudirat Abiola was murdered on June 4, 1996, by gunmen suspected to be government's agents following which the duo of Al-Mustapha and Shofolahan were charged for her assassination.
.
In separate motions on notice filed against the judgement of the appellate court by the state Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Ade Ipaye, the state formulated eight and six issues against Shofolahan and Al-Mustapha, respectively.
.
The state argued that the appellate court erred in law by discharging and acquitting the two men when the evidence linking them to the crime was not materially challenged.
Well there are so many reasons to choose from so it's kind of confusing to say or ascertain what should trully be done....
