lee007: PAINFUL PAINFUL PAINFUL!

ITS A REAL PAIN THAT MOST KIDS COMMENTING HERE KNOW NEXT TO NOTHING ABOUT HOW THESE GUYS RULED NAIJA IN THE MID 1990'S.

ALMUSTAPHA IS AN ANIMALISTIC COLD BLOODED KILLER WHO PERSONALLY SAW TO THE KILLING OF SCORES OF NIGERIANS AND FORCED MANY MORE'GOOD' NIGERIANS ABROAD TILL DATE. KUDIRAT'S ASSASSINAION IS JUST A SLICE OF THE WHOLE PIE.

WELLL I KNOW THIS RULING AQUITTING HIM AFTER THESE YEARS IS VERY POLITICAL AND WE WILL LL WATCH AND SEE WHAT GOODLUCK WILL TURN THIS COUNTRY TO, ENOUGH SAID!

Maxymilliano:

I love this part ... This guy deserve to be freed!

thegoodjoehunt: You don't throw people in jail based on rumors and gists. This is done to protect the innocent. You only jail people or give them capital punishment with evidences which are concrete.

joseph1832:
Who then planned and killed Kudirat? When will Nigerians ever see a solved political murder case in this country? you are here saying he deserved to be freed...

Fadelex:
shut dat tap that is leaking, r u a military man? where in d military have you heard or seen that refusing to kill some1 is termed as disobedience? so if ur superior asked u to fire ur father or mother u will gladly obey? he is responsible for his action, and btw I'm tellin u wat I know cuz I'm among.. stop quoting textbook for us

lee007:

MR MAN! KUDIRAT'S KILLING WAS NOT A RUMOR, WHAT CAVE DID YOU CRAWL OUT FROM? AND HOW OLD ARE YOU....DID YOU EVER READ ABOUT SGT ROGERS AND HIS TESTIMONY IN THIS CASE?

Azone: Al-Mustapha for President..From Grass to Grace..From Prison to Mansion...Naija I dey hail o, Una no dey fail o.

beylinko: Good for him, enough troubles have circled round his head already. I wont be surprised seeing him at the polls contesting for the governorship position of his state come 2015.

Anxious family members and friends of Hamza Al-Mustapha, on Friday, besieged the gates of the Kirikiri Maximum Security Prisons, Apapa, Lagos, in anticipation of his release, following his discharge and acquittal by the Court of Appeal on Friday.

The jubilant crowd could barely hide their pleasure at the news of the release of the former chief security officer, after 15 years in detention.

His immediate younger brother, Hadi Al-Mustapha, said that he was overwhelmed by the judgment of the Court of Appeal; adding that he could barely utter any word when he heard the decision of the court, but to thank Allah.

A factional leader of the O’odua Peoples Congress, Fredrick Fasheun, who was also at the prison, said that Nigeria was beginning to witness a new dawn in the Judiciary, with this development.

“To God be the glory, being incarcerated for 14 to 15 years is no joke,” he said. “So when a person regains his freedom from such, we then give all praises and glory to God. So, we thank the Nigerian people, the government and the three God-directed judges; they did well. We are beginning to have some respect for our judiciary, especially the three judges, who have shown that there is still hope for the voiceless and the average Nigerian.”

Nuru Magani, Publicity Secretary, Arewa Youth Foundation said: “The Arewa Forum is overwhelmed with today’s proceedings. It is beyond our imagination, we never thought that the Nigerian judiciary could be so meticulous. Today’s judgment by the court, presided over by Justice Amina Augie, has shown that this case is beyond politics or any group’s interest.
