Victory At Last – Al-Mustapha’s Lawyer

[Shola Sholaz]

In a terse statement by the Lagos State Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr Ade Ipaye, said:" For now, we cannot make comments about the judgement. Copies of the judgement are yet to be issued by court. I need to study it before making my comments."
.
The Director of Public Prosecution, DPP, Mrs Olabisi Ogungbesan, spoke in the same vein on telephone with Saturday Vanguard.
.
Head of Abiola family, Alhaji Mubashiru Abiola yesterday expressed shock over the judgement of the Court of Appeal, Lagos which discharged and acquitted Major Hamza Al- Mustapha, former Chief Security Officer to the late Head of State, Sani Abacha, for conspiracy and murder of Kudirat Abiola.
.
Bashiru who spoke in Abeokuta, said that the family was hearing the news for the first time.
.
He however, emphasized that the family would not make any statement over the matter for now until a meeting of the family over the Appeal Court judgment which had not been fixed.

There is nothing as good as victory so I must commend the lawyer for a job well done. It is always a good feeling....
