A member of the Nigeria Democratic Congress, NDC, and human rights activist, Aisha Yesufu, on Tuesday hinted that Nigerians no longer care about the circumstances surrounding the death of former Military Head of State, Sani Abacha.
Yesufu, a co-convener of the defunct BringBackOurGirls, BBOG, advocacy group, said Nigerians are more concerned about the whereabouts of the country’s looted funds under Abacha.
Posting on X, she wrote: “Who cares?! Tell us where the loots are hidden.”
She made the remark in reaction to claims by a former Assistant Director of the Department of State Services, DSS, Dennis Amachree, that Abacha died of cardiac arrest during sex with his girlfriend.
Amachree made the claims in his newly released memoir, DSS @40: My Journey Behind the Shield.
He disclosed that Abacha suffered the cardiac arrest at about 4:05 a.m. at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
The former DSS officer was an Assistant Director of Operations and Intelligence at the Lagos Command when Abacha died in June 1998.
He wrote: “At approximately 2:40 a.m., shortly after Gen. Useni left, Abacha’s girlfriend, an Igbo lady (name withheld), arrived at the Aso Rock Guest House from the Nicon Noga Hilton Hotel.
“At about 4:05 a.m., as they were getting intimate, the pharmacist realised Abacha had stopped moving. She called out to him, but he was unresponsive and stiff. She checked his pulse; there was none.”
