Former Minister of Petroleum Resources, Dan Etete, don challenge di claim say former Head of State, General Sani Abacha, die while im dey with one woman.
Na retired DSS officer, Dennis Amachree, bin yarn dis story for im book, “DSS @40: My Journey Behind the Shield,” wey some part dem release for July 2026. For di book, Amachree talk say Abacha die at 4:05 a.m. on 8 June, 1998, for Presidential Villa for Abuja, while im dey lie down with one woman.
Etete, wey serve for Abacha im government, reply with statement wey im title “After 28 Years, You Have No Evidence.” Im say Amachree no present any document or evidence wey go prove di story. Im ask for di name of di woman, her nationality, and whether she ever confirm di story. Im also ask make dem release di autopsy report and any medical records wey go show wetin kill di former head of state.
Etete say dis kind story no bin ever show for di years afta Abacha die, even though plenty investigation and discussion don happen about am. Im also ask why dem allow di woman wey supposedly dey with Abacha leave Nigeria, if she bin dey important for di investigation. Im want know who order make dem release am, who approve her travel, and whether there be any investigation record about di matter.
Etete make-am clear say im no dey talk as Abacha lawyer or spokesman, but as person wey work for im government and wey know am personal. According to Punch, Etete add say di death of one person, especially a former Nigerian president, no be thing wey person suppose turn to entertainment or attention-seeking story. For anoda report, Amachree don talk say Abacha die of cardiac arrest, and say one woman dey with am just before im die.
