A former Minister of Aviation, Chief Femi Fani-Kayode has blamed the deaths of late General Sani Abacha and late MKO Abiola on American intelligence agency, the CIA.

According to a post on his official twitter handle on Wednesday, Fani-Kayode said the former dictator died after poison was given him via handshake.

Abacha died in Aso Rock in 1998

“Gen. Sani Abacha was killed by one of late Yasser Ararat’s bodyguards. He administered poison to him through a handshake. This was done at the behest of the CIA. Two former Nigerian Heads of State & a former Head of Military Intelligence, who are also CIA agents, knew about the plan.”

He beckoned on Nigerians to know their history.

“The same people decided that MKO Abiola had to be killed as well in order to balance the equation. The CIA, through Susan Rice & Ambasador Pickering, did the rest. Nigerians please know your history and find out the truth. Stop accepting the lies that are fed to you and stop brushing evil under the carpet.”

Abiola was assassinated in 1998

“Neither Abacha nor Abiola deserved to be murdered even if we did not all agree with either or both of them. The CIA has no friends & there is nothing more despicable than working for a foreign intelligence agency against your own people & nation.”
