Repatriated cash was looted by successors not Abacha - Abacha's former Chief Security Officer, Major Hamza Al-Mustapha



Repatriated cash was looted by successors not Abacha - Abacha

Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, the ex-Chief Security Officer of former Head of State Gen. Sani Abacha, has stated that the $318,460,329 due to be repatriated from the United States was not stolen by his former boss. 

 

In an interview with Voice of America (VOA) Hausa on Thursday February 6, Hamza alleged that the money was stolen from the public and laundered abroad in Abacha’s name by his successors. 

 

He further alleged that the late Military Head of State stepped on many toes, which is why so many ''disgruntled elements are angry and sponsoring such kinds of lies against him.''

 

Hamza said; 

 

“But before Abacha died, our foreign reserve rose to over $900 billion. All the money being repatriated were those stolen by some leaders who served after Abacha’s death.

“The late Abacha’s successors in the Presidential Villa were the thieves who stole the billions and hid the money elsewhere.

“I was forced to implicate the leadership of the defunct PTF under President Buhari then, during the military era.

“If there will be a genuine fight against corruption in Nigeria, many people will be arrested.”

The fact remains, Abacha looted, and embezzeled Nigeria’s money. Whether the repatriated cash was then looted by his successors doesn’t take away that fact. Babangida institutionalize looting, it became the norm. Northerners refuse to take any accountability of how they ruined the country. One crook is not any better than the next crook. Yes, they should all be in Prison, actually be hanged from babangida, Abacha, Obasanjo, Abdusalami, some corrupt governors etc

900billion naira or kobo...cos I don't think you are talking about dollars. Naim Obasanjo had to repay Paris loan of 12billion dollars? Just about 2yrs after Abacha's demise?..,.... Guy don't just provoke me this morning....am not in the mood

This guy is right. But you people are blinded by what you see on the newspaper. That is Abacha right hand man. So there is element of truth in what he is saying. Buhari is the real crook.

Major Hamza forgot that Abacha's Son or his wife has one time said no matter how much FG retrieve from their Father, they cannot still poor like that Dangote.. Abacha died June or July 1998, then Abdusalam came in, then Obasanjo came in may 1999, who discovered the money looted by Abacha and other top military men..I stand to be corrected here, Abasanjo first budget was N1 billion because he met empty treasury.. and Abuja loot was discovered 2001/2002. Which Abacha Successor will launder money Abacha's name? or is it Abdusalam? Who tho looted but he could not have been stupid enough to lauder in Abacha's name.. Hamza is suffering from memory lost

The successor that Hamza was referring to is Abdulsalam Abubakar who is widely regarded to be an elder statesman. the man is corruption himself, a thief to the core.

Don't castigate him please don't forget that Buhari once said abacha is not a thief, Al mustapha knows a lot of things we don't know about, forget about all those abdulsalam's,obj and co, they are never clean but evil and satanic
