Al Mustapha in Lagos court yesterday
Former chief security officer to then military dictator, Sanni Abacha, played a video in a Lagos court today showing some Yoruba leaders leaving the meeting with former military head of state, General Abdusalam Abubakar.
The video footage which he claimed was shot by his personal bodyguard revealed the face of late Chief Abraham Adesanya, Chief Bola Ige and the former secretary to the National Democratic Coalition, Ayo Opadokun at the Aso Rock Villa.
The video did not seem to contain the explosive material it promised journalists and lawyers who had waited anxiously for it today.
The video showed that late Abraham Adesanya and his entourage were confronted by journalists who asked them about the details of the meeting with the head of state.
Adesanya responded to one of the questions that, ''no agreement that has been reached with the Head of state, other than that he will consider the proposal before him."
Curiously, when asked about Abiola's death, Pa Adesanaya said ''I wouldn't know''
Also asked about the agitation for a Government of National Unity (GNU) and the actualization of June 12 mandate, he replied that the GNU will still be there. "It is only that it won't be Abiola that will head the GNU.'' referring to the winner of the June 12 elections that was annulled by the military in 1993.
