Dennis Amachree a former Assistant Director in the Department of State Services, DSS has debunked claims that former Military Head of State General Sanni Abacha, who died in office on June 8, 1998 was poisoned with an apple served by a foreign lady . Amachree claimed that Abacha had a cardiac arrest during a sexual encounter with the younger sister of his girlfriend and died there after.
In a memoir titled DSS @40: My Journey Behind the Shield, part of which was published The Nation the retired sleuth said Abacha , who ruled Nigeria between November 1993 until his demise , had died and the lady had disappeared before the Chief Security Officer to Abacha Major Hamza Mustapha got to know about the incident.
Excerpt from the Memoir:
“At approximately 2.40 am, shortly after Gen. Useni left, Abacha’s girlfriend, an Igbo lady (name withheld), arrived at the Aso Rock Guest House from the Nicon Noga Hilton Hotel.
With her was her younger sister, a pharmacist who was in Abuja for a conference. The Head of State had just bought his girlfriend a new SUV, and they decided to stop by to say hello to ‘Oga’.
Abacha was taken with the younger sister, and after a short while, the girlfriend returned to the hotel, leaving the pharmacist alone with the Head of State.
At about 4.05 am, as they were getting intimate, the pharmacist realised Abacha had stopped moving. She called out to him, but he was unresponsive and stiff. She checked his pulse; there was none.
In a state of panic, she quickly dressed and left the guest house, telling the soldier on guard duty that ‘Oga’ had asked for a car to take her back to her hotel.”
My team located and brought her to my office. I interrogated her myself. The first thing she said to me was: ‘I did not kill him, he died on top of me.’ After her detailed account, I called the Director in Abuja, and she was immediately flown back.”
The lady pharmacist’s account, on whom Abacha apparently had a coitus-induced cardiac arrest, remains the true position, and puts an end to the conspiracy theories and half-truths that have gone viral.
