Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, who was the former National Security Adviser to late Ex-Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha, has revealed that he was forced to implicate President Muhammadu Buhari in a case of public funds looting. Al-Mustapha, said on Thursday that the so-called millions of dollar allegedly stashed in foreign banks by his former boss, were all tissues of lies.
He also revealed that he was forced to implicate the Petroleum Trust Fund, PTF, under the leadership of Muhammadu Buhari of looting.
Featuring on Voice of America, VOA in Kaduna on Thursday, Major Al-Mustapha queried the source of the money said to be stolen by Gen. Abacha, he said, “when the late Head of State took over Government, the Country had not more than $200bn in its foreign reserve but prior to Gen. Abacha’s demise, our foreign reserve rose to over $900bn.” He maintained that all the money being repatriated into the country were those stolen by Nigerian leaders who served after the demise of Gen. Abacha.
Major Al-Mustapha noted that it is because his former boss stepped on toes, “some people were so angry and could sponsor such lies against him,” he said.
“If there will be a genuine fight against corruption in Nigeria, many people will be arrested,” he stated.
