From
SaharaReporters…
Sources have told
SaharaReporters that last week’s “judicial decision” which set free of murder
charges Hamza Al-Mustapha, the former Chief Security Officer to late Nigerian
dictator, Sanni Abacha, is owed to President Goodluck Jonathan, who was
following a “spiritual” fortune-telling that would enable him to win the 2015
election.
Controversial
Lagos sect leader, Pastor TB Joshua, who has Mr. Jonathan eating out of his
hands, has been identified as the person who told the Nigeria leader that his
political fortune rests with setting Al Mustapha free.
In addition, Mr.
Joshua has also told Mr. Jonathan if he is to win in 2015, he needs to bring
back to Nigeria James Ibori, the former Delta State governor who is currently
serving a 13-year jail term in the United Kingdom.
After Mr. Joshua's
spiritual “forecast” was told to Mr. Jonathan, SaharaReporters sources say he
instructed the Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Mohammed Bello Adoke
to take care of the judges involved in the case, giving him a war chest of $2
million.
But a judge, Justice
Ibrahim Saulawa, a Northern Muslim, who was earlier contacted to do the dirty
job, refused to accept the bribe and removed himself from consideration of the
plan.
Another judge, Amina
Augie, was then drafted to handle the Al-Mustapha’s acquittal. Ms. Augie,
formerly known as Anna Graham, who is originally from Anambra State and fourth
wife of late Senator Adamu Augie of Kebbi State, took the case and assembled
some lawyers to help with drafting the judgement.
It is also alleged
that she got help from some members of the Nigerian human rights community in
drafting the judgement, which blamed the prosecutors in Mr. Mustapha's case for
doing a “shoddy” job. Among other ridiculous arguments, Ms. Augie’s
claimed in the judgement that the prosecution couldn't provide the bullet that
killed Mrs. Kudirat Abiola in 1996.
A source at the
Presidency in Abuja told Saharareporters that Mr. Joshua has so much
control over Mr. Jonathan right now that whatever he requests is granted
without delay because the president believes that the pastor holds the
spiritual key to his electoral success in 2015.
President Jonathan
and his wife, Patience have made several nocturnal visits to the pastor since
becoming president. Al Mustapha also visited the Pastor soon after he was
released from prison before heading to Kano to meet with family and friends.
