Mustapha/Shofolahan Death Sentence - Appeal Court Reserves Judgment

The Court of Appeal in Lagos Monday reserved judgment in the appeal by Major Hamza Al-Mustapha and Lateef Shofolahan, challenging the death sentence handed them by a Lagos State High Court.

Al-Mustapha and Shofolahan are challenging the death sentence passed on them by the lower court on January 30, 2012, by Justice Mojisola Dada, for conspiracy in masterminding the murder of late Kudirat Abiola, wife of late Chief MKO Abiola.

Lessons of June 12, by Soyinka, Abiola-Constello, NLC, others

LIKE a festering wound that defies treatment and sticks out implacably, June 12  re-awakens sore memories of the nation’s political failure, injustice and inequity.

Twenty years ago, on June 12, 1993, the nation’s political march being led by the late Chief Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola was halted.
