Hours after the Court of Appeal in Lagos discharged and
acquitted the former Chief Security Officer, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, to late
Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha, for the
murder of Kudirat Abiola, he was released from the Kirikiri Maximum Prison
where he was incarcerated for 15years.
This is just as he was described as a model prisoner
throughout his stay behind bars, who adhered to the discipline instilled in him
during his military training and career.
Immediately the court judgment was read, checks revealed
that the Controller, Nigeria Prisons Service, Lagos State Command, Catherine
Nkolika Ononye, sent a directive for security beef up at the prison and its
environs to forestall any insurgency.
When contacted the Public Relations Officer, Lagos State
Prison Command, Biyi Jeje, said the major's was a model prisoner who conformed
to the rules governing the environment as well as became well versed in lawn
tennis, a sports he knew nothing about before his foray behind the walls.
