You Owe Us A Book On Nigeria’s History – Mimiko Tells Al-Mustapha

1 Min Read

Governor Olusegun Mimiko has said that Hamza Al-Mustafa, former Chief Security Officer to the late Head of State, Sani Abacha, owes Nigerians a book that would tell the part of the country’s history that is still shrouded in mystery.

“We are waiting for a book. You owe us a book,” Mr. Mimiko told Major Mustapha. “There is a lot of gaps in our history that you need to fill.”

Mr. Mimiko said the retired officer is a part of the nation’s recent history and should be willing to let the world know those things that would impact on the nation’s political development.

He made this known at the annual lecture in his honour which was organised by Integrity Icons, a youth organisation, at the International Event Centre in Akure.

The lecture was themed, ‘The Nigerian Quest for Social Justice and Credible Leadership,’ with Dare Babarinsa as guest lecturer.

Mr. Al-Mustapha was acquitted in 2013 by an Appeal Court after spending 14 years in jail on charges of masterminding the death of Kudirat Abiola, the wife of the late Moshood Abiola, winner of the June 12, 1993 elections.
