In it, he accused the current Vice-President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo (SAN) of instigating Sergeant Rogers to falsely claim that he, Al-Mustapha, was behind the assassination of our mother, Alhaja Kudirat Abiola.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cFirst of all, we all watched the proceedings of the Oputa Panel where Sergeant Rogers freely stated that he assassinated our mother and attempted to murder Senator Abraham Adesanya and Chief Alex Ibru, late Publisher of The Guardian newspaper, based on the instructions given to him by Major Al-Mustapha.\u201cThe evidence of Sergeant Rogers was not challenged by Al-Mustapha and his lawyers at the Oputa Panel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cSecond, the Lagos High Court convicted and sentenced the armed agents of Al-Mustapha to imprisonment for the attempted murder of Senator Abraham Adesanya.\u201cThird, the Lagos State High Court also convicted and sentenced Al-Mustapha and his accomplices to death for the cold-blooded murder of our mother.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir subsequent acquittal by the Court of Appeal was most likely politically-motivated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\u201cThe appeal filed against the judgment is currently pending at the Supreme Court.\u201cHowever, Al-Mustapha may be counting on the pervasive culture of impunity in Nigeria to not only attempt to deny his dastardly role in the assassination of a defenceless woman; but to also now contemplate running for office, along with Mohammed Abacha, who was alleged to have provided his driver to convey the assassins to carry out the mission.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImpunity lays waste to the promise of the democracy for which our dear mother paid the ultimate price.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs those that oversaw her assassination now seek to rewrite the history of what they did, we are forced to seek justice for our beloved mother within a jurisdiction not susceptible to the political games that hold sway in Nigeria,\u201d the statement by Khafila Abiola on behalf of Kudirat\u2019s children, read.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mail-message-footer spacer collapsible\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The children of pro-democracy campaigner, late Alhaja Kudirat Abiola, have maintained that their mother was assassinated on the orders of Major Hamza Al-Mustapha.
