Al-Mustapha was convicted of murder by a lower court but acquitted by the Court of Appeal. There were rumours that the federal government had discouraged an attempt to take the case to the Supreme Court, an allegation it had denied.
However, Obasanjo alleged in his famous letter that  Al-Mustapha was released from prison to help the President  Jonathan train assassins to eliminate opposition politicians.
Almustapha also countered with allegations of his own, saying there have been many security secrets covered under different false disguises involving Obasanjo.
He said even though Obasanjo did not mention him by name he was sure he was referring to him.
Speaking with VOA Hausa Service yesterday, Al-Mustapha appealed to the former president to accept the challenge for a debate in any of the global arenas, like CNN or Al-Jazeera.
 He said Nigerians would then come to discover who knows the secrets of Nigeria between the two of them.
“When Obasanjo wrote his letter I was away in India to treat injuries I suffered while in detention during during Abdulsalami Abubakar Obasanjo’s administrations.
“He knows that I know this country, and I challenge him on anything about Nigeria, because even before he became president, he knows I know this country. I pray that he accepts my proposal for the debate on anything about Nigeria in any part of the world,” he said.
He said when the former president finally agreed for the debate, Nigerians would come to know that “we have been patient to keep quite in the country, despite the number of secrets we know.
“If you look at the history of Nigeria, from 1974 till date, and its secrets, there are many things that are being presented as the truth, when they are actually the contrary. That is why I want people like Obasanjo to come up for this debate.”
Al-Mustapha said he had forgiven everyone responsible for his travails in connection with the murder of Kudirat Abiola.
