THE GENERAL IS 17YEARS BENEATH THE EARTH SURFACE (RIP)! BELOW IS WHAT AL-MUSTAPHA (CSO) TO THE LATE GENERAL GAT TO SAY.

“When I got to the bedside of the Head of
State, he was already gasping. Ordinarily, I
could not just touch him. It was not allowed
in our job. But under the situation on ground,
I knelt close to him and shouted, “General
Sani Abacha, Sir, please grant me permission
to touch and carry you.”

Contrary to insinuations, speculations and
sad rumours initiated by some sections of the
society, I maintain that the sudden collapse
of the health system of the late Head of State
started previous day (Sunday, 7th June,
1998) right from the Abuja International
Airport immediately after one of the white
security operatives or personnel who
accompanied President Yasser Arafat of
Palestine shook hands with him (General
Abacha) I had noticed the change in the
countenance of the late Commander-in-Chief
and informed the Aide-de-Camp, Lt. Col.
Abdallah, accordingly. He, however, advised
that we keep a close watch on the Head of
State.

Later in the evening of 8th June, 1998,
around 6p.m; his doctor came around,
administered an injection to stabilize him. He
was advised to have a short rest. Happily,
enough, by 9p.m; the Head of State was
bouncing and receiving visitors until much
later when General Jeremiah Timbut Useni,
the then Minister of the Federal Capital
Territory, came calling. He was fond of the
Head of State. They were very good friends.
They stayed and chatted together till about 3.35a.m. A friend of the house was with me in my office and as he was bidding me farewell, he came back to inform me that the FCT Minister, General Useni was
out of the Head of State’s Guest House
within the Villa. I then decided to inform the
ADC and other security boys that I would be
on my way home to prepare for the early
morning event at the International Conference
Centre.
At about 5a.m; the security guards ran to my
quarters to inform me that the Head of State
was very unstable. At first, I thought it was a
coup attempt. Immediately, I prepared myself
fully for any eventuality.
As an intelligence officer and the Chief
Security Officer to the Head of State for that
matter, I devised a means of diverting the
attention of the security boys from my escape
route by asking my wife to continue chatting
with them at the door – she was in the
house while the boys were outside. From
there, I got to the Guest House of the Head
of State before them.
When I got to the bedside of the Head of
State, he was already gasping. Ordinarily, I
could not just touch him. It was not allowed
in our job. But under the situation on ground,
I knelt close to him and shouted, “General
Sani Abacha, Sir, please grant me permission
to touch and carry you.” I again knocked at
the stool beside the bed and shouted in the
same manner, yet he did not respond. I then
realized there was a serious danger. I
immediately called the Head of State’s
personal physician, Dr. Wali, who arrived the
place under eight minutes from his house.
He immediately gave Oga – General Abacha
– two doses of injection, one at the heart and
another close to his neck. This did not work
apparently as the Head of State had turned
very cold. He then told me that the Head of
State was dead and nothing could be done
after all.
I there and then asked the personal physician
to remain with the dead body while I dashed
home to be fully prepared for the problems
that might arise from the incident. As soon
as I informed my wife, she collapsed and
burst into tears. I secured my house and
then ran back.
At that point, the Aide-de-Camp had been
contacted by me and we decided that great
caution must be taken in handling the grave
situation.
Again, I must reiterate that the issue of my
Boss dying on top of women was a great lie
just as the insinuation that General Sani
Abacha ate and died of poisoned apples was
equally a wicked lie. My question is: did Chief
M.K.O Abiola die of poisoned apples or did
he die on top of women? As I had stated at
the Oputa Panel, their deaths were organized.
Pure and simple!
It was at this point that I used our special
communication gadgets to diplomatically
invite the Service Chiefs, Military Governors
and some few elements purportedly to a
meeting with the Head of State by 9a.m. at
the Council Chamber. That completed, I also
decided to talk to some former leaders of the
nation to inform them that General Sani
Abacha would like to meet them by 9a.m.
Situation became charged however, when one
of the Service Chiefs, Lieutenant General
Ishaya Rizi Bamaiyi, who pretended to be
with us, suggested he be made the new Head
of State after we had quietly informed him of
the death of General Sani Abacha. He even
suggested we should allow him access to
Chief Abiola. We smelt a rat and other heads
of security agencies, on hearing this, advised
I move Chief Abiola to a safer destination. I
managed to do this in spite of the fact that I
had been terribly overwhelmed with the crisis
at hand.
But then, when some junior officers over-
heard the suggestion of one of the Service
Chiefs earlier mentioned, it was suggested to
me that we should finish all the members of
the Provisional Ruling Council and give the
general public an excuse that there was a
meeting of the PRC during which a shoot-out
occurred between some members of the
Provisional Ruling Council and the Body
Guards to the Head of State
When I sensed that we would be contending
with far more delicate issues than the one on
ground, I talked to Generals Buba Marwa and
Ibrahim Sabo who both promptly advised us
– the junior officers – against any bloodshed.
They advised we contact General Ibrahim
Babangida (former Military President) who
equally advised against any bloodshed but
that we should support the most senior
officer in the Provisional Ruling Council (PRC)
to be the new Head of State.
Since the words of our elders are words of
wisdom, we agreed to support General
Jeremiah Useni. Along the line, General
Bamaiyi lampooned me saying, “Can’t you
put two and two together to be four? Has it
not occurred to you that General Useni who
was the last man with the Head of State
might have poisoned him, knowing full well
that he was the most senior officer in the
PRC?”
Naturally, I became furious with General
Useni since General Abacha’s family had
earlier on complained severally about the
closeness of the two Generals; at that, a
decision was taken to storm General Useni’s
house with almost a battalion of soldiers to
effect his arrest. Again, some heads of
security units and agencies, including my
wife, advised against the move.
The next most senior person and officer in
government was General Abdulsalami
Abubakar, who was then the Chief of Defence
Staff. We rejected the other Service Chief,
who, we believed, was too ambitious and
destructive. We settled for General Abubakar
and about six of us called him inside a room
in the Head of State’s residence to break the
news of the death of General Abacha to him.
As a General with vast experience,
Abdulsalami Abubakar, humbly requested to
see and pray for the soul of General Abacha
which we allowed. Do we consider this a
mistake? Because right there, he – Abubakar
– went and sat on the seat of the late Head
of State. Again, I was very furious. Like I
said at the Oputa Panel, if caution was not
applied, I would have gunned him down.
The revolution the boys were yearning for
would have started right there. The
assumption that we could not have
succeeded in the revolution was a blatant lie.
We were in full control of the State House
and the Brigade of Guards. We had loyal
troops in Keffi and in some other areas
surrounding the seat of government – Abuja.
But I allowed peace to reign because we
believed it would create further crises in the
country.
We followed the advice of General Ibrahim
Badamasi Babangida and the wise counsel of
some loyal senior officers and jointly agreed
that General Abdulsalami Abubakar be
installed Head of State, Commander-in-Chief
of the Nigerian Armed Forces immediately
after the burial of General Sani Abacha in
Kano. It is an irony of history that the same
Service Chief who wanted to be Head of
State through bloodshed, later instigated the
new members of the Provisional Ruling
Council against us and branded us killers,
termites and all sorts of hopeless names.
They planned, arranged our arrest,
intimidation and subsequent jungle trial in
1998 and 1999. These, of course, led to our
terrible condition in several prisons and
places of confinement.

And this info fattens our wallets how?

well it is well known that abacha was killed by the west using people like ibb and co. abacha would have sanitized this country from criminal godfathers even if it means only him becoming the godfather, but he wasn't intelligent, he was just a strong man which is irrelevant in power politics. look at Russia's Putin very smart, intelligent and also a strong man that why he is still in control of Russia since 1999 till date giving the west nightmares.
