This subvertion of justice can only happen in Nigeria. What a shame!

This is a link to a news article that was published two weeks ago..Make of it what you will..http://thenigeriatoday.net/kudirats-murder-plot-to-free-al-mustapha-revealed-former-nba-president-ibori-judge-step-in/

Aggrippa: lots of people here are either ignorant or shortsighted, they have forgoten how Major Al-Mustapha and his crew dealt wondrously with them (SOUTH) under General Abacha` s REGIME .people should be weary of these man and his anti-democratic, communism tendencies. is he gonna be active politically again? time will tell.

so!!!!!

Justice delayed,justice denied.

This is the exact shrewd mentality that is keeping us down!....are u high,watz d meaning of shrewd,u gv meaning 2 thing accordin 2 d way dey r pronounced

As your lordship pleases.

I can see the seize fire agreement with Boko Haram now!

Wonderful! I couldn't make sense of his previous Death sentence. I feel it was a way to shut him up.

He has agreed to keep his mouth mute otherwise he will remain in the prison for life. Don't be surprise GEJ may appoint him the next NSA. If you ask me, l think their is a strong correlation between the recent cease fire by Boko haram and Almustapha's sudden acquittal. I ll not be surprise. Nigeria!!! May God have mercy on our leaders.

Infact, am not surprising with the judgement, that's Naija for us . He who die for this Country die for nothing. Never allow anybody to push u to an early grave.

He deserves freedom. If Obasanjo who wiped out a whole tribe of Odi can walk freely today in Nigeria, then this man deserves his freedom.

Follow Al mustafa on twitter #alisfreekudirat

chei: Nice one. This man has went through hell on earth, he has lost all hopes.

did I hear you say "...has went through hell"? C'mon! Speak english

Sure, at last FG have started granting amnesty to Northerners.

They should also be ready to free abiola's children if they decide to take the law into their hands on Al-mustapha. This justice Rita Pemu is known for reading out judgements in favor of the Federal Government. Well the Supreme court is the next junction. This guy must not be set free. Because someone will murder the president and wife and go free in future. Claiming they were acting on orders.

Hmmm, you might have a point.

jchime: Thank God, he was a military man and was following the orders from the military powers that be.....obey the last order. If they want to sentence the killer, they should go and get Abacha but since he is no longer there, make his family compensate for the mans death

you're right even if it was Al mustapha's father Abacha had called the hit on, i doubt if there is much he could do. Its unfair to sentence him to death since he was only obeying orders especially when its a military structure of obey before any complaint

Major Al-Mustapha is the major reason behind the long and sustained democracy we have been enjoying

I saw this coming from the outset. With the way the case was being prolonged, I knew there was only going to be one outcome. The Nigerian judiciary is really in shambles!

Clerverly: Maybe jonathan wants to use him for 2015 . What Abubakar, obasanjo and Yar'dua couldn't do, retardeen has done it! Up Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeetardeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen!!!!!!

Smal tym if u vomit u go say na retardeen, if ur gf cari belle u go say na retardeen, if drink to stupor n find ursef romancin a goat inside gutter, na d same retardeen cause am. Kudos to d judges for freeing a man who was carrying out orders in a military regime.

Reptyle: Fair judgement for a man who was about to be made a scapegoat for the atrocities of an atrocious era, while his paymasters continue to flourish in the corridors of power.

Shame on IBB, Abdulsalam, Jerry Useni and the rest of them who were all senior players in that era but chose to sacrifice a mere foot soldier like Al-Mustapha to assuage the thirst of Nigerians for justice.

May the souls of Kudirat and all the other martyrs of democracy rest in perfect peace.

actually you're wrong to call him a mere soldier. He's an officer precisely a Major.

christ4mi: Northerners in every corner of the world will be happy. They have start changing their dp on bbm to Al-mustapha, and commenting on facebook with pride, twitter the same. Okay, we heard u. You won the judgement

you mean it? Oh!how I wish I have 1 on my BBM contact........

What a shame to the judiciary in this country!O my beloved nig i cry for you!we are talking about the insurgent on you, and the judiciary is busy unleashing more insurgents to tear you apart!! Sorry,kpele, Ndo, Sannu!!!

Sweetlemon:

lol!
In 1995 ShyM-X was found peeing on the roadside in london by the police and was thus held in custody.
Black people in london then rioted because SyyM-X was still a lil kid fresh from Nigeria where peeing in the streets is a norm and so should have been shown mercy. You were too young to remember dear. LOL!

Buhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha!!!

Nigeria judicial is a faliure.

jchime:
In the military setting, the master dictates the tune, and you have no right to determine the legality or illegality of a senior officers orders. You just carry out the order, in almustaphas case, he was an ADC doing the biddings of his master who in addition happens to be the most powerful military man. Who are you to question his orders.

i wonder who people expect Almustapha to report Abacha to those days and tell him bluntly he's not killing for him. I believe in the saying "we live to fight another day" how're we sure that's not what he did by allowing his cruel master to be murdered silently with poison. Just thinking out aloud and not an assertion

shame to nigeria and the handlers of nigeria afairs, was james ibori not freed in nigeria when he was cot in uk what happend, if mustafa is to be in uk with this case he will surely get life jail, nija judicial system have a very long way to go.

Hezron Lorraine: I was already sympathizing with the bandwagons of 'he was only following orders' till I saw this.
This is a very interesting point of arguement that the prosecuting counsel could have made use of in court.
There's a good legal fronting in his case,he's favoured by the appellate court.

it seems you know nothing about taking orders from a superior officer in the military let alone taking order from the Head of State and Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces. Olori oko banbam in khaki

Aggrippa:
dont mind them...all these young people are fond of reasoning with their armpits...if they have their way, they will make Major Al-Mustapha their president just because he has just been discharged and aquitted...such is the hallow life and the disposition of these people.

You guys need someone to tickle your armpit a little. Didn't you know that majority of the commenters are just being sarcastic?

This should score GEJ some points with the North's Oligarchy ahead of 2015 smart move

The man must be very relieved and joyous when he heard it straight from the Judge. But suspect say money don pass hand for dis mata.
