Family members of Mrs. Kudirat Abiola together with pro-democracy
activists and civil society leaders gathered in Lagos today, June 4, at
the tomb of late democracy heroine Chief MKO Abiola to remember her life
and times.
Eighteen years ago, wife of the winner of the June 12 1993
Presidential election, Mrs. Abiola was murdered
on the orders by
military dictator, Sanni Abacha. The assassination was carried out by a
killer squad maintained and led by Major Hamza Al-Mustapha.
After several years in prison on trial, Al-Mustapha and his
collaborators were set free under mysterious circumstances by a
compromised panel of appeal court judges, ostensibly on the orders and
direction of President Goodluck Jonathan.
