Do you know that the flesh of late General Sani Abacha was cut and sent to Germany and the United Kingdom? Well, these are some of the revelations one of his closest men back then is letting out.
It’s no secret
that you always had your time with him in the evenings. Achacha’s last
24 hours before his death, how were they like? What actually killed
Abacha?
- Well, it is
true that I always saw him in the evening. One thing I made sure was
that I never took official matters to him. I never went there to gossip.
As I said, we had been long time friends. Some times I would wait up
till 11pm or 12 mid-night so that he would have finished with all those
people who would normally take their problems to him. I think that day I
just came back from Gusau and I was feeling tired and I thought I would take the evening off. But once I came in, I got a telephone call
from the Villa that they were waiting for me there. I think it was the
day (late) Yasser Arafat came to Nigeria and Abacha was to receive him.
In fact, by the time we finished Abacha himself was very tired because
he slept all through the evening on our way back from the airport.
So I told
people that the man was tired they should allow him rest. So I went back
to meet him around 10pm or so and I left him around 2:30am. The next
morning around 10:30 I think I had two administrators with me in the
office when another call came. They said they were waiting for me at the
Villa and I got a bit upset that why must they always wait for me at
the Villa, every time they are waiting for me, they are waiting for me.
When I got to the Villa, they said Abacha died. I said, died? But I was
with him till very late.
The story people have refused to let go of is that you were both out very late, enjoying and drinking with some woman and that he ate apple and died of possible poisoning from the apple?
People said all that, about apple poisoning him, some women poisoned him and all that. There is an autopsy report on what killed him.
But the autopsy report could bee doctored to protect him?
Doctored how? They cut his body and sent to Germany. The report that came back said Abacha died of natural causes. They cut his body again and sent to the United Kingdom, the report that came back said he died of natural causes. The man had been ill any way.
They (the military council) by-passed you because they felt you had a hand in his death?
Yes! I was suspected, and they made Abdulsalami head of state, though militarily, I was the most senior officer at that time.culled
