The Court of Appeal sitting in Lagos yesterday discharged and acquitted the former Chief Security Officer to the late Gen. Sani Abacha (Al-Mustapha) and Shofolahan, an ex-aide to the late Kudirat.

The appellate court dismissed the judgment of Justice Mojisola Dada of the Lagos High Court, which sentenced both men to death by hanging, after accusing the judge of being “stroked to secure a conviction by all means.”

Reports say Al-Mustapha’s first port of call was Prophet T.B Joshua’s ministry.

Joshua, the founder of the Synagogue Church of All Nations (SCOAN) said his relationship with Al-Mustapha has come a long way reportedly claiming he had foretold Al-Mustapha’s release which explains his courtesy visit to his ministry.
