This is an interesting but shocking one from Sahara Reporters...read their report below:
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.
