How Late Dictator, Sani Abacha, Was Discovered Dead –Ex-Head Of State, Abdulsalami, Opens Up | Sahara Reporters

A former Head of State, Abdulsalami Abubakar, has revealed what he knew about the death of Nigeria’s late dictator, Gen Sani Abacha, in 1998 and how the events of that time unfolded.Abdulsalami said, “A lot happened the day General Abacha passed away. He died I think the day he was to travel to Togo for, I think, the ECOWAs or AU summit.

“Yes, in the morning. Then there was another call; “look the president is waiting for you,” I said “okay I am coming”. So I casually put on my tracksuit since there was no time to dress in uniform and so on, since there was agitation that I was wanted immediately. “So after about 40 minutes waiting, then Late Coomassie, , who was the Inspector-General of Police came to where I was sitting and he said “Please come”. Instead of going up to the office, we followed out, he said “No, we are going to the house".

“Well at that time I was told he passed away and so on and at that time all these speculations did not arise until later on. All we were concerned was that okay, that the head of state has passed on, how do we now break the news to the country and so on and so forth.

Who believes him?

We don't need this story again, please...

Lier

What is the essence of his statement now. What benefit is it to Nigeria. I beg go and zazoo zeh.

The games of these politicians would one day come to light?

Just a distraction, we are closely watching.

The almighty God will punish everyone that brought Nigerians to the level of poverty in the midst of plenty. We don't need this type of story.. is not a blessing to Nigerians. How do we revive Nigeria? This old leaders have done us so much evil. They are all contributor..........

This people should just shut up and leave the next generation to mind the nation, they can all have what they'd stolen and go

Election season is always when they share a snippet of whatever history they have. Kwantinu or handover the mic to the next person dying to share some h i s t o r y.

Quite frankly we don't want to know it matters very little at this time !!!

Tales by moonlight

Medicine after death

A man that write national Constitution only him is called what?

And sooo...

The people his telling this story some were not born then, why do Africans believe in secret and only confess on the last minute.

Keep that story to urself oga na stale news!!!!

Who will believe this? Why at this time?

He should reveal the events that led to MKO's death....how it was agreed to balance the equation and so forth. People deserve the truth.

How's this our business?

But when that retired general in Lagos said same truth, and exposed all that Boko-Haram is in the military, the government frame him up and arrested him. Buhari is indeed a dictator and we don't need APC dictatorship government anymore. Where is Sunday Igboho?

A dictator but not a terrorist.......Abacha infact going by the performance of other presidents after him was far better off. How much was dollar under Abacha? The economy was still thriving......now the economy is dying ....

If you’re calling Abacha a dictator,what about Buhari

May thunder & fire burnt severely anyone that called Abacha dictator.
