Justice Mojisola Dada of the Lagos High Court sitting at Igbosere will on Monday deliver judgement in the murder case against Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, the former Chief Security Officer to the late Head of State General Sani Abacha and Lateef Shofolahan the driver of the late Kudirate Abiola.

Both men are standing trial for the murder of Kudirat Abiola, the wife of the acclaimed winner of the June 12, 1993 Presidential election, Moshood Abiola, who was assassinated in her car on June 4, 1996.

The trial of Major Mustapha is adjudged to be the longest criminal trials ever experienced in the nation’s history, lasting more than 12 years with five successive judges.

Al-Mustapha and Shofolahan have been standing a joint trial after the third accused person – CSP Rabo Lawal, the Officer in charge of Mobile Police (OC MOPOL) then at the Aso Rock Villa was discharge and acquitted by the Court.

Specifically, Shofolahan is alleged to have provided the details of the movement of the late Kudirat Abiola at the time of her murder.

A four-count charge of “conspiracy and murder of Alhaja Abiola on June 4, 1996 along the Lagos/ Ibadan Expressway, Lagos toll gate, opposite Cargo Vision, Ikeja in Lagos” was preferred against Al-Mustapha and Shofolahan when the state established a prima-facie case against them.
