Thousands of the Kano residents thronged the Lamido Crescent residence of Major Al-Mustapha to register their support for the embattled former CSO, even as the family’s spokesman, Hadi Al Mustapha told the crowd that the road to freedom is not yet over, as another case against his elder brother comes up on the November 10, and enjoined them to intensify their prayers for his release.
He described the Appeal Court’s decision as a welcome development, since, ‘’it underlines the fact that the judiciary remains the last hope of the common man.’’
