I did not beat Obasanjo in prison- Al Mustapha
Category: Nigerian National News
A lot have been said about the "wicked" activities of Major Hamza
Al-Mustapha, Chief Security Officer to the late head of state Gen. Sani
Abacha, with regard to cruel treatment to anyone against his Oga back
then.
Al-Mustapha finally broke the silence. He
denied beating up ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo during his
incarceration days in prison under the Abacha government. Al-Mustapha
claimed he even helped Obasanjo with his personal upkeep at the various
prisons, due to his position as a former military head of state and an
elder statesman.
In his words: “I have never beaten Obasanjo and I never beat up anybody. Obasanjo lied on me and God will be the judge between me and him. When Obasanjo was arrested on charges of coup attempt, I was the one who gave N10,000 for the purchase of bed sheet, pillow sheet and brush...
“Also, when he was moved to Jos prison, I and governor Manah used to buy him food items from NASCO Company. All these assistances I rendered were due to his position as a former head of state and an elder person.”
