FORMER Military Head of State, General Sani Abacha participated in all military coups in Nigeria except one, the Kaduna Nzeogwu coup on January 15, 1966.
Abacha played along with MKO Abiola pretending to be a lover of democracy until he ousted the Interim Government headed by Chief Ernest Shonekan in a Palace coup on November 17, 1993.
The true colour of the maximum ruler came to open when he hounded MKO Abiola into detention after MKO declared himself President at Epetedo, Lagos.
