Disturbed by the continued incarceration of Major Hamza Al-Mustapha, a former Chief Security Officer (CSO)to the late head of state, General Sani Abacha, youth groups in the North that met under the aegis of Arewa Youth Forum(AYF), at the weekend, appealed to former Head of State, General Abdusalami Abubakar, to clarify the issues raised by Al-Mustapha.

The national president of the AYF, Alhaji Gambo Ibrahim Gujungu, said it was only General Abubakar that could put an end to the controversy surrounding Major Al-Mustapha’s allegations and save the nation from further suspense, as the latter’s comments and videos had heated up the polity.

The Arewa youths, he said, had continued to monitor the court proceedings and were not happy with Abubakar for keeping mum in spite of the fact that the embattled former chief security officer had mentioned him many times during the trial.

He said Abubakar should emulate former President Ibrahim Babangida who had been calling for the release of Al-Mustapha in radio interviews, pointing out that posterity and history would not forgive those who make others suffer unjustly.
