NewzBy Dan Etete I have read the claims made by Mr Dennis Amachree in his memoir concerning the death of General Sani Abacha, as reported by a newspaper on July 21, 2026. Mr Amachree asks Nigerians to accept a detailed account of the final hours of a Head of State on nothing but his own recollection, offered twenty-eight years after the fact. The woman on whom his entire account depends is not identified.
There is nothing to show she has ever confirmed a word of it. No record of the interrogation he says he conducted. No file number, no signed statement, no duty log, no visitor’s book, no medical finding from anyone qualified to make one.
He places a quotation in the mouth of a person he will not name and asks us to treat it as history. He tells us the time to the minute. Twenty-eight years on, from memory, with nothing on paper behind any of it.
He is careful to dismiss every other account for lacking evidence. He then offers his own on precisely the same footing. So let the questions be asked plainly.
Who is this woman, is she alive, and has she confirmed this? Where is the record of the interrogation — the date, the place, the signature? Who was the officer he says he telephoned, and has that man corroborated a word?
What flight manifest, what hotel register, what duty log supports any part of this timeline? On what medical authority was a cause of death determined, and by whom? None of these are unreasonable questions.
