bodyguard
exposed the face
of late Chief
Abraham Adesanya,
Chief Bola Ige
and the former
secretary to the
National
Democratic
Coalition, Ayo
Opadokun .
The video showed
that late
Abraham Adesanya
and his
entourage were
confronted by
journalists who
asked them about
the details of
the meeting with
the head
of state.
Adesanya
responded to one
of the questions
that, ''no
agreement that
has been reached
with the Head of
state, other
than that he
will consider
the proposal
before him."
Curiously, when
asked about
Abiola's death,
Pa Adesanaya
said ''I
wouldn't know''
Also asked about
the agitation
for a Government
of National
Unity (GNU) and
the
actualization of
June 12 mandate,
he replied that
the GNU will
still be there.
"It is only that
it won't be
Abiola that will
head the GNU.''
referring to the
winner of the
June 12
elections that
was annulled by
the military in
1993
When asked about
replacement for
Abiola, he said
''we are not
proposing
anybody yet.''
Adesanya
delegation then
asked
journalists to
leave when asked
about the length
of the planned
talks with the
military
authorities.
In his
testimony, Al
Mustapha said
that the group's
departure from
the Villa was
recorded on an
ordinary camera
by his
bodyguard.
In today's
dramatic
testimony in
open court,
Mustapha made a
series of claims
in further
testimony
including claims
that former EFCC
chairman, Nuhu
Ribadu, tried to
assassinate him
after escorting
him to
Lagos. He said
he was saved by
the Mike Okiro,
the commissioner
of police of
Lagos at the
time.
Mustapha also
tendered a copy
of the letter he
wrote to Bola
Ige in 2001
accusing
Ige of
complicity in
Abiola's
''murder''.
The former CSO
had made series
of claims in the
last three days
, led in
evidence by his
lawyers claiming
that Chief
Moshood Abiola,
the winner of
the June 12
presidential
election was
murdered by
General
Abdusalam. He
also claimed
that some
members of the
opposition were
complicit in
Abiola's death
