Why did he need to be pardoned twice...?

First by abdusalami and then good luck.
Anyway, death as they say is inevitable. One can only prolong the day but it comes eventually. The people in the picture Diya and adisa are both late now.
Somehow death always wins in the end!

The Making Of Abacha - the Dictator :
Abacha Dictatorship was being Unveiled then,
But many were gaulible audiences - Some were even clapping for him,when it was Obviously that he had Nothing Upstairs,as these gaulible audiences are still doing For many Politicians, especially the FORMER'.
•To Worsen things,he sold Nigerians LAMBA - (Lies and Deception) that Many Fell for It- including Governors, Traditional Rulers,etc, Showing them A Clips Of A Doctored Video( but why can't he showed them Full Video,as these So Called Leaders Couldn't ask the Maximum Abacha then- just because he wants Validation of his Illegal Rule'.
•It Is ONLY OBA SIKIRU AWUJALE - WHO STAYED and Stated -THAT IT WAS A LIE 🧐 BEING PACKAGE BY ABACHA - in Abuja!
-So what happens to the Rest Of Our Common Sense - ALL GONE FOR CASH AND CARRY BAGS and Some Traditional Rulers were Not Even hiding it on what they got from Abacha!
You See 🙈 this Country,
-I Pitied Many NIGERIANS -from the Spirit Of Air that Anything goes- through Tribes, Religion ☯️ and Ethnicity and is the very reason - Why NIGERIA is Not Progressing.
•May God Bless the Awujale in Death - the Only One who was Sincere Amongst the rest of your Traditional Rulers!

TRUMP IS NOT A DICTATOR. HE IS A REPUBLICAN DEMOCRAT OF A GOOD TYPE AND AN APOSTLE OF JESUS CHRIST.

did anyone notice how they quickly moved it towards igbos and the original story line is almost lost, sometimes i wish Abacha did the needful , sentenced , carried out the sentence and provoked outrage , secession and civil war , this would have shown the world how many seconds Oduduwa republic would have lasted

Funny enough this was more like a Yoruba coup going by the names up there, but it wasn't termed that way. So why was the other dubbed an Igbo coup ? Just mulling over

No report of any death in the alledge coup of Gen. Diya and others when compare to high profile deaths recorded in 1966 coup. So, the tag will be heavy for the 1966 coup plotters.

Who was the man in the middle and the woman at the back? I can see late adisa.
Abacha really dealt with them that time especially the yoruba generals among them.

Major General Tunji Olanrewaju - man wearing glasses in the middle.

Senator Chris Anyanwu, a journalist then - woman at the back

That man's cowardice needs to be studied. He disguised as female servant to escape and the other one serving life imprisonment was caught pants down with a woman grin

No wonder people in government don't them serious!

Ogundipe ran when nobody was chasing him, even when he was suppose to take iver as d nost senior military man, he japaied. Diya cried in d presence of his junior officers and his junior officers gave hin handkerchief to clean his tears and sorrows.

Yeah, but at the time Ojukwu was telling Ogundipe to take over power and that he's solidly behind the brigadier, the duplicitious and mischevous Ojukwu had left his post in Enugu and was in̈ hiding at the police station in Nnewi- his hometown.

Not one Ibo was killed in that coup.
Coupists weren't tried by the new Ibo Head of State.
Coupists were moved to Owerri prison under the protection of the Ibo military Governor.
Coupists were promoted in prison.
No Ibo leader was killed.

And your own general who ran away nko but not after wasting millions of his peoples' lives.
It would have been better for the innocent nigerians that lost that lives in that dumb war, had Ojukwu ran off in July '67.
