Late Alhaja Kudirat Abiola’s family, has warned the former Chief Security Officer to late military Head of State, General Sani Abacha, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha (rtd), to stop making statements designed to derail the course of justice, with respect to the assassination of their mother.
In a letter addressed to Al-Mustpha and signed by Mrs. Hafsat Abiola-Costello, the family drew his attention to Sergeant Rogers’ “Confession before the Oputa Panel”, where he stated that Al-Mustapha gave him the gun to assassinate the wife of the acclaimed inner of the June 12, 1993 presidential election.
The letter to Al-Mustafa, titled: “Those who commit crimes must be punished,” read: “The family of Alhaja Kudirat Abiola read the statements you made in Ondo State in the past week, proclaiming your innocence in the assassination of Kudirat Abiola.
”It is worth recalling that you were convicted by the High Court in Lagos State. And although you were acquitted by the Appeal Court on technicalities, the case is before the Supreme Court. Your current rantings are designed to divert the course of justice.
“It should be noted in the context of your recent declaration of innocence that Sergeant Rogers confessed before the Oputa panel that you gave him the gun to carry out the murder of our mother. You never challenged the evidence of Rogers at the panel. The video of his confession is available on YouTube, if you need to refresh your memory.
“Justice is the only way to ensure peace, especially in plural societies like ours.”
