'I may be arrested for speaking truth' - Al-Mustapha

Al-Mustapha says he has CCTV footage to dispute Dennis Amachree’s version and urges Nigerians to reject claims about Abacha’s final hours.

  • On Saturday, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, former Chief Security Officer to General Sani Abacha, dismissed as "lies" claims by Dennis Amachree, a former Department of State Services operative, regarding the late military ruler's final moments.
  • Amachree's recently published book alleged Abacha died of a heart attack, but Al-Mustapha insisted he possesses CCTV footage contradicting that account and urged Nigerians to disregard the "fabricated" narrative.
  • Speaking at the 3rd General Hassan Usman Katsina Memorial Conference in Kaduna on Saturday, Al-Mustapha criticized Northern governors' poor attendance and declared the region's leadership "directionless" and "totally hopeless."
  • Addressing a representative of President Bola Tinubu, Al-Mustapha declared, "The system is rotten," arguing that public officials lack understanding of leadership responsibilities and fail to prioritize the nation's future.
  • To address current failures, Al-Mustapha proposed a one-week retreat for Northern leaders while advocating investment in artificial intelligence and Lake Chad's economic potential to drive regional growth.
