Abacha’s Son Cries Over Airport Scrutiny by ExAngel007(op): 1:02pm On Jun 10, 2020
Son of former Nigerian military ruler, Sadiq
Abacha, has alleged that even though a travel
ban on the Abachas has been lifted since
during the Yar’adua era, members of the late
General Sani Abacha family were still harassed
whenever they travel in and out of the
country.

“We went to the security agency, they even
gave us a clearance paper. But even before
this lockdown that I travelled to Dubai, I was
still interrogated at the Airport,'” he alleged.

Sadiq spoke in an interview with the BBC
Hausa Service monitored by Vanguard on
Wednesday.

Asked on how the Abacha family felt on
reports of hundreds of millions, allegedly
stashed in foreign vaults by the late military
ruler, Sadiq said the reports were disturbing.

“We hear the report just as others used to
hear. But there are reasons why the money
was kept …there are some politicians.

Definitely, I’m not happy,” he said
On their relationship with the families of other
surviving Nigerian leaders, Sadiq Abacha
explained that apart from the family of
Ibrahim Babangida, and to some extent that
of President Muhammadu Buhari, others had,
allegedly, failed to sustain the relationship.

” We relate well with the Babangida family…, ”
he said.

These revelations came 22 years after the
death of General Abacha.

According to him, “Our present relationship
with some of our late father’s friends is
surprising. We exchange pleasantries with the
family of General Babangida. We are in good
terms.

“It is only with members of the Babangida
family that whenever we meet, we associate
and share stories.

” We also relate well, with family members of
President Muhammadu Buhari. But it’s only
with the Babangida’s that we recall the past.

” When Yayale Ahmed was Secretary of the
Government of the Federation, he helped us
and the travel ban on our family was lifted.”

” But up till date, I’m always interrogated at
the airports anytime I’m travelling. They
always say our names are still in the black
book.

” We’ve been to the security agency and they
have issued us with a clearance paper. That
our names have been removed from the black
book.

” But nothing has changed..I’m always
harassed whenever I’m going out or coming
into the country. I don’t know where to go and
be listened to. It should’ve been a security
agency, but I was there.

” Nothing has changed. Even recently, before
this lockdown, I was interrogated when I
returned from Dubai,” he said.

So, cos you're Abacha's son, you shouldn't be interrogatedhuh
No one is above interrogations, dear Abacha son.

Fool.

U even get mouth to talk. You must vomit all our yams. What even gave this guy guts to talk is very nauseating.

Instead of him and his siblings to commit suicide and leave the shame that comes with their father's name, he's here dragging rights.

Nonsense and Buhari undecided

That's why my people say a good name is better than stolen billions of dollars of the Nigerian people.
