According to Jokolo, former president Olusegun Obasanjo had agreed to release Al-Mustapha following the intervention of some prominent northern leaders but that General Gusau who was then the NSA advised him otherwise.

“The former president agreed to release Al-Mustapha immediately but to our surprise, days later he called us that the NSA said his release posed a security threat to the nation,’’ he said on VOA.
