Is This A Joke? -Nuhu Ribadu Reacts To Al Mustapha Claims

Nuhu Ribadu
By Nuhu Ribadu

My attention has been drawn to comments made in court today by the chief security officer to the late General Sani Abacha, Mr. Hamza Al Mustapha, claiming that as “escort officer” I was recruited to assassinate him back in 1998.

I want to strongly refute this claim as false, and perhaps as invented to help build a constituency of concern and sympathy for his case. I was never a party to any such plot, and will never be associated in a scheme to perpetrate extra-judicial murder.

For the records, however, I was the lead state prosecutor [not escort officer] in all the cases of the 1998 trialists facing murder charges before they were handed over to the Lagos State government. I was also a passenger in the same Nigerian Air force aircraft that conveyed them
all [including General Bamaiyi, Col. Bako and others] from Abuja to Lagos to begin trial. This would certainly not be a logical setting for assassination!

I think at this point, Mr. Al Mustapha’s case is best served by keeping the substance of his murder case on the rails, and by shying away from the distraction of public performance.

Re-Nuhu is full of BS-He should just keep quiet

If you are sure of yourself and have plenty of money to pay out for libel for sladdering somebody's character, purge out all you said you know about Ribadu. If what you have are true, do you think UN would have given him international appointments? What could you have had that UN and other international intelligent bodies would not have had. Go and sleep Mr. man.

ribadu

Its shame for you nuhu ribadu

nigeria must split; corruption, political assasinations will not stop neither will any be solved with those mindless leaders at top. THEY ARE THE PERPETRATORS.

It hurt when I read people's

It hurt when I read people's view on issue that is sensitive. People that understand Nigeria politics knows that El Mustapher is just trying to reposition himself in nigeria politics and he knows he can only do this by fist getting the sympathy of his constituent and Nigerians,

You know most of these

You know most of these Nigeria lawyers bought their certificates like everything corrupt in this country. It is also unfortunate that Nigerians are too scared of the truth since their daily life's is falsehood personified.
Ribadu should return his Law Schhol certificate on the ground that he is too stupid to hold it.

thanks

THANKS. I SHARE YOUR OPINION

Nuhu is full of BS - He should just keep quiet

Brothers and Sisters, please let us all stop this tribal hatred. Insulting one another whilst the so called powers that be enjoy their loot with divide and rule tactics. Please, let us all realise that greed is the problem we have in Nigeria and all tribal elders including the Hausa, Ibo and Yorubas are all GUILTY AS HELL. The only way we can help ourselves is to call their bluff and stand as one to challenge them in unity. The more we curse and abuse ourselves the more the leaders get richer and enjoy their loot including the likes of Ribadu. If you are not a thief Ribadu, I challenge you in this holy month of Ramadan to refute this allegation. If you lie may Aljannah not be your final abode. That goes for all those destroying our dear country Nigeria.

Nuhu is full of BS - He should just keep quiet

Nuhu Ribadu should just hide his head in shame. The more he tries to defend himself i just wanna puke. He was instructed as he proved to be hungry for power. His thirst for power made him a good tool for the powers that be, mainly the mafias running Nigeria. The opportunist called Ribadu was accelerated from absolutely nothing, I DARE HIM TO REFUTE THIS ALLEGATIONS. Some of us have your dossier, all your chicks that you use in laundering your dirty stinking money are still alive and kicking and traceable. You were rewarded for all your dirty work with EFCC and the story continues(keeping that for another day) We are all aware that you still have your idiots planted at the agency(EFCC), the likes of Lamorde and your junior officers that are letting things slip(All your secret meetings and requests have records). Naija wikileak soon to be let loose.

NIGERIA IS A FAIL STATE

All these nonsense will only happen in the fail state like Nigeria,becouse is in only fail state you will be seeing white and call it black. Yoruba is really coursing problem in Nigeria,Mustapha is not lying by saying that Yoruba leaders take bribe to keep quiet for the death of Abiola,is true and i belive him on that side,we Nigerians knows Youruba people very well and what they can do,they know what happen to there Son Abiola,even the way Bola Ige died also prove what Mustapha is saying,now OBJ is doing thinking that God is not seeing him,one day Monkey will go market and he no go come back.Idiot

you forget former Kano state

you forget former Kano
state gov Muhammad rimi

Nigerians Kills Nigerians

Our so call leaders during the period Abiola was murdered should be arrested for cross examination.

It is no joke

Mallam Nuhu, it is no joke, NigerianPro.com is real and people and businesses are getting empowered.

Here we are again. childish

Here we are again. childish baby Nuhu screaming his buttocks off. Abaeg go siddon. Wetin this monkey do for nigeria?

the uneducated almajiries&mallus(execude de basterd)

The biggest basterds are those that sold the blood of their so-colled herrow for nira&dollers,atlast now we know who are the mallus&uneducated.

So who is anti-democracy?

I guess u are one of the morons from the nothern part of the country to believe Mustapha statements. So u mean Babangida who annulled June 12 fairest and freest election is not anti-democracy personified? You are either living in banana republic or suffering from dementia or hallucination. Candidly, your like is never fit to live among human beings

How about Abubarkar??????????????

Why are people not pointing the number accused person. I am quite surprised about the reaction of people especially mentioning the dead while the living are been overlooked.
At lease, Abubarkar has been mentioned.... Is he not alive?

EXECUTE THE BASTARD

Mustapha should be executed if only to atone for the innocent blood he shed. No one will cry for him except the Maalus. Let the uneducated almajiris continue to believe the rubbish he's spewing out to them

foolish sets of tribe and hypocrites

yea,they are most foolish set of tribe; its obvious that they can never be betrusted. Its has happened before and yet they never wanna change. They have always said IBB is anti-democracy. Now who is anti-democracry after conspiring to murdered there brother,Abiola. Secondly, they were d first plot coup and assasinated the founding fathers,it shal never b wel wt u

is this a joke?

RibaDU agrees that he was involved tacitly in the handling of the mustaphas case at least before handing it over to lagos state govt. Fine, which means as he was used by obj to hound innocent nigerians or at least those against his masters third term bid, then it was possible for him to be induced to do so. Ribadus denial is baseless and he must be called to questioning. What is diversionary? justice dada has admitted both instruments as evidence.. correct judge.. which wan be ur own. u de claim aig, do u merrit it? Pandoras box is about to be opened. Breeze don blow, foul yansh don open. Al mustapha is a nigerian, y una go keep am for prison for 12 years? y? Ribadu, u think u can use civil rights to hide.. u call tinubu the worse thief after go follow am do wetin dem dey call am.. presidential election. u can fool us..al ur service years u rode on others back. shut up pls

RE-AL-MUSTAPHA

Let me react one after the other.First I realised that some people responding here are bias,lack focus and tribalistic.If you guys watched Oputa Panel,you understand what Mustapha is saying.Mustapha never kill anybody,not proved.He confessed that he was instructed to act and he acted carefully.That is why you are seeing Video today.cos he foresaw these problems.Diya was the actor then,until when Abacha became a consensus candidate to five parties.

Let Yorubas who are in the video defend themselves,OOni is one.ask why they even visited Abacha at that period.why was Obj used? this guy said something and tendered a real evidence,yet u said he is sick.He asked some lawyers in Oputa panel who among you will your master say do this and you say NO.Nigeria Army is go and you go.Do you guys know what it takes for Military secret to be opened to the public? He may be killed any moment.

like it or not OBJ/DIYA/SHEHU

like it or not OBJ/DIYA/SHEHU YARADUA/ADISA AND CO Were engaged in a failed coup plot against Abacha, Adisa confesed before his death in a pointblank programe, Obj presided for eight good years after been let of the hook but he never denied involvement after all Diya is still alife let him deny no coup before some idots continue the denials.

AL MUSTAPHA VIDEO IN COURT

Who is a patriot, what drives a patriot to act the way he does? Look around do we still have patriots in this country, I doubt not. Is Al-mustapha a patriot, as he claims to be in court, I doubt not.

Is Al-mustapha in prison, or is he a prisoner, I doubt not. CHARADE. DIVERSION - GAMEPLAY. THE CHESS.

All the shows Al-mustapha displayed in court is just another SCRIPT being played out by those who wrote the first script to kill Abiola. Tell Al-mustapha to dare those that threatened to kill him for the sakE of the country he can. Are YOU A PATRIOT, I doubt not.

NIGERIA HAS BEEN SOLD OUT EVEN BEFORE INDEPENDENCE.

There is more than enough in this country, I BELIEVE NIGERIA IS BETTER THAN THE UNITED STATES, GREED, SELFISHNESS, SELF RIGHTEOSNESS AND CORRUPTION HAS EATING DEEP in the heart of Men in this country. GRAB WHAT YOU CAN, HAS BECOME THE ORDER OF THE DAY.

With this, the YORUBA will be on each others throat. DONT BE FOOLED, DON'T BE A PAWN.

Hmmm

I wounder!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CHICKENS COMING HOME Yorubas

CHICKENS COMING HOME

Yorubas should go back home and settle there matters instead of becoming angry will all Nigerians.

Nigerian power politics is at play again and it will ONLY take God to do justice in Nigeria...

Conspiracy at its best and that's Nigeria - between the military, ethnicity, rigged elections and corruption...and yet the masses are killing themselves thinking that when someone that belongs to their ethnic group is at the Villa ALL IS WELL.

FOOLISHNESS!

CONSPIRACIES COMING

CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT

JUSTICE DELAYED IS JUSTICE DENIED! JUSTICE DELAYED FOR 12 YEARS!!! TO COVER UP THE REAL EVIL DOER IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL CRUEL AND UNUSUAL PUNISHMENT.

ALL THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OF NIGERIA, ABOUT 4 OVER 12 YEARS HAVE FAILED TO PROSECUTE THIS CASE TO ITS LOGICAL END. SHAME ON THE NIGERIA JUDICIARY OF CORRUPT JUSTICES.
If Ribadu fails to understand thi, let him ask for a refund from his Law School.

Na me talkam! Anaruagu

TUNDE MASHED SEEKING CHEAP RECOGNITION

Tunde Mash, for the second time I will encourage you to stop seeking attention by attacking people. You don't seem to have any constructive view and is basking on the attention that you are getting from people.
Ia asked:
Do you have evidence to prove, Beyond Reasonable Doubts that Al-Mustapha killed all those people? YOU ANSWER, he killed them! What a shallow way to think and write.
Let them TRY him and convict him with hard cor evidence not hearsay, gossips or innuendoes. The Attorney General must stop this theater of Absurdities.
Again, holding anybody for 12 years without trial is UNJUST AND UNUSAL PUNISHMENT. Ribadu is a lawyer, if he could not spot that, then he MUST ASK FOR A REFUND FROM HIS NIGERIAN LAW SCHOOL!!!
Delay of a murder case based on technicalities for 12 years? TELL IT TO THE TUNDE MASHED OF THIS WORLD.
