Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, the former Chief
Security Officer (CSO) to the late Head of State,
Gen. Sani Abacha, has faulted the content of the
letter written by former President, Olusegun
Obasanjo to President Goodluck Jonathan.
Al-Mustapha, who spoke on Sunday after his visit
to the Emir of Kano, HRH, Ado Bayero, said the
allegation that the president was training snipers
to take on political opponents was unfounded.
“I found it utterly a laughable thing. I found the
allegations most unfortunate, speculative and a
depiction of somebody else’s imagination. I have
responded to his letter and my response to his
letter stands” he said.
Reacting to Obasanjo’s comment that, Al-
Mustapha’s acquittal at the Court of Appeal in
Lagos was questionable, the officer stated that “I
have gone through many persecution that are
well-scripted, with witnesses bought and induced
over the years, with so many adjournments that
are unwarranted, with so many cases being
stopped, only for it to start all over again. I have
appeared before many justices.
“The content of the judgment that was given at
the Court of Appeal speaks for itself. These are
well-known justices with backgrounds that are
well known. Today, they have looked at the
persecution (against me) and they know that it is
contradictory to the provisions of the law in
Nigeria and anywhere in the world”.
Commenting on the speculation that his family is
disunited, Al-Mustapha described the news as
untrue.
He particularly commended his younger brother,
Alhaji Hadi Al Mustapha, for his sacrifices in the
course of his trials and persecution, recalling that
he was detained nine times because of their
affinity.
