Astute lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN) has taken a swipe at late military Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha’s Chief Security Officer (HoS), Hamza Mustapha…

“When the Pope..Pope Paul, visited Nigeria, he had almost persuaded Abacha to free Abiola and other prisoners, Al-Mustapha who was watching the meeting through a CCTV, entered the room and said oga yakari, enough, and that was the end of the meeting.”

“Secondly, Dr. Falomo, Abiola’s personal physician, was allowed by the government to visit Abiola. When Al-Mustapha learned that he was waiting to see Abiola, he got him arrested. He was already taken to Kaduna prison, it took the intervention of Abacha to free Dr. Falomo.”

“Three, Chief Abiola fell down in the bathroom in one occasion, his legs were swollen and Arch Bishop Tutu confirmed this when he visited, Al-Mustapha did not allow him to have any medical treatment.”
“If the fellow now comes around saying he was the best friend of the late Chief MKO Abiola, he is a liar, he is now talking because the witness is no longer alive.”

“Please that guy is a pathological liar. I was at the Oputa Panel. He claimed that all his tapes had been stolen by Gen. Abdulsalami Abubakar. Those tapes have not been released, how then has he now got the new tape he is talking about.”

“At the time Csa Abiola was killed, (not that Abiola just died, he was given poisonous tea. That is the first time in Nigeria that a foreigner was allowed to give tea to a Nigerian prisoner), Al-Mustapha was in Enugu at that time, so he was not in the Villa. So whatever he is saying, is at best, hearsay. It has no value in law.”
