How Abacha Escaped Planned Abduction By Diya – Ex-CSO, Major Seun Fadipe (Retd) by Antoeni(op): 5:40pm On Jan 24, 2025

Major Seun Fadipe (retd), a former Chief Security Officer (CSO) to the late Lt-Gen Oladipo Diya, has recounted how the late ex-military Head of State, General Sani Abacha, escaped a planned abduction in Enugu State in 1997.

Fadipe was the CSO to Diya who was the Chief of General Staff, the then de facto vice president of Nigeria under the military administration of Abacha. Fadipe was a guest on the Friday edition of Inside Sources with Laolu Akande, a socio-political programme aired on Channels Television.

Fadipe recalled how Diya and his co-travellers planned to abduct Abacha and force him to resign in Enugu but the then head of state caught wind of the development and aborted the trip at the last hour.

He said, “There was a coup, whether it was now a phantom one or it was a setup, it’s immaterial now because that’s the problem I had with my boss until he died. I was a major, if I wanted to be involved in a coup as a major, it would be a violent coup because there was no way I would do a palace coup because I had a lot of seniors ahead of me. I never planned any coup, I never intended to plan any coup but I got involved through my boss.”

“As of that time, Abacha was doing well but because he wanted to transmit to a civilian regime, things went haywire.”

Because he was innocent. Have you considered others that Abacha killed?
Are they coup plotters too?

Some of you on this forum deserve FG visitation.
Tell the whole world your pain and grouse with people of southwest. Creation of this post is a manifestation of your intentions.
How can you say the bolded to a whole tribe?
What is their offense?
Who exactly did something that you can't highlight the individual and drag such person. The way people do tribalism in Nigeria is appalling. We are in volatile times and anything can lead to unrest.
Be responsible.

How remotely possible is this even. Abduct Abacha in Enugu? Unless with tacit cooperation with GOC 82nd division. The chiefs of army, navy and air force

Yoruba people wanted to do coup in Igboland, so that ABoki will blame Igbos?

It seems the last Coup Awolowo did with few Igbos never do.

He was chief of General Staff. It was very possible and the locals (Igbos) were collateral damage if the shooting started. Abacha should have skinned that fool alive.

Enugu is not ibadan. Igbos will never be collateral damage in the east.
