Abacha Nearly Executed Obasanjo For Alleged Coup But I Sent My Wife Overnight To Abacha To Spare Him

How Abacha would have executed Obasanjo.
Former Head of State, Gen. Yakubu Gowon, says he pleaded with late Gen. Sani Abacha not to execute former President Olusegun Obasanjo for alleged coup plot in 1995.

Gowon said this at the maiden edition of the Interdenominational Unity Christmas Carol and Praise Festival organised by the Plateau State Government.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that Obasanjo was arrested in 1995 by Gen. Sani Abacha and convicted of being part of planned coup to overthrow his government.

Obasanjo, in spite of pleading innocent to the coup, was sentenced to death.
