Jack Musa, one of the sons of former Nigerian military ruler, Yakubu Gowon has been released after spending twenty two years in a US prison.

Reports say Musa is the son of late Edith Ike Okongwu who had a steam affair with the ex head of state.

Edith had lived with Gowon during the war till she was allegedly kicked out for flimsy reasons. Musa was taken away from her.

She relocated to America but many years later, ‘kidnapped’ him on a visit to Nigeria and took him back to America.

Reports say Musa became rebellious and didn’t approve of his mothers single and flamboyant lifestyle.

To make matters worse, his dad Yakubu Gowon had allegedly cut him off for as long as he was with his mum. Musa eventually became one of the highest ranking member/ business partner of a Colombian drug cartel. He lived a rich and flamboyant lifestyle until he was caught.

During his trial, he was offered a deal to rat on the people he worked with but he refused and there was outrage, his people were angry with him for not betraying the people he worked with but young Musa argued that if he talked they would fish him out even in jail and snuff him out.

He kept sealed lips and in 1993 in his early twenties, he was sentenced to jail, with hard labour.

He was however released yesterday and is set for an imminent deportation to Nigeria.
