Former Chief Security Officer to the late Head of State,
General Sani Abacha, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, on Monday said he is set to
reveal in his book ‘Mustapha’s Memoirs’ how General Sani Abacha and Bashorun
M.K.O. Abiola, died.
Al-Mustapha made this revelation when he addressed journalists
in Lagos on Sunday. The former CSO discuss on issues relating to his 15-year
travails in detention.
He disclosed to reporters that Abiola and Abacha were very
good friends before some fifth columnists caused disaffection between them. He alleged
that Abacha’s and Abiola’s deaths were from same source, Al-Mustapha said he
would make the comprehensive revelation in his new book, Mustapha’s Memoirs.
He said: “For instance, when Chief M.K.O. Abiola was in
prison, many notable Nigerians visited him.
“They will visit him in the morning and when they come back
to the Villa in the evening to see Abacha, they would say a different thing
entirely.
“Unknown to these notable Nigerians, particularly notable
Yoruba personalities, who visited Abiola, their visits were recorded on video.
“I did the video recording without their knowledge.
“These people would visit Abiola and come back to tell
government a different thing about him.
“These same people would still go and tell Abiola a
different thing about government.
“They are on video.
“The agencies of government have these videos evidence.
“These same people told M.K.O. Abiola never to accept any
compromise or negotiations.
“They advised him never to come back home without his
mandate.
“All these things are on video.
“Of all the Yoruba leaders, only Oba Tejuosho told M.K.O.
Abiola the truth: to accept the conditional bail and go home.
“Only Oba Tejuosho told M.K.O. Abiola that Abacha was his
friend, urging him to reconcile with Abacha who was ready for reconciliation.
“It was Oba Tejuosho who told M.K.O. Abiola that he still
had the goodwill and would win if he re-contests after Abacha.
“What killed Abacha is what killed MKO Abiola.
“But I would reveal that after my court case, still at the
Supreme Court.
“I would publish a book, which has three volumes — the
Mustapha’s Memoirs, which will tell what happened under Abacha and how he
died.”
