The wife of Nigeria’s late military head of state, Sani Abacha, Maryam, says it is shameful to lie against her late husband concerning recovered loots linked to him.
The former first lady in an interview with Kano Focus, to mark the 22nd anniversary of Abacha’s death, said the truth over recovered monies linked to her late husband will come to light in time.
She accused Kano elites of betraying her husband, who died in 1998, despite “his contributions to the development of the state and country”.
Maryam said, “How come this man was not a thief until he died?”.
“What is this amount of money after 22 years you say oh we have found this amount of money and we’re bringing it back?
“It is a shame to tell lies on a dead man! It is a shame to tell lies on your leader.
“If he had done wrong, God knows. If other people are putting the wrong on him, it is a matter of time.
“They will kneel down like America is kneeling down now. Anybody that is evil will kneel down just like this corona has come to shut this world.”
She described her late husband as a person who helped a lot of people.
“He worked in Kano and he planted Kano people, but there are people he helped a lot but they are not even greeting me now for no reason,” she continued.
“They just hate us. But why? It is Haram and Allah is watching us.”
Nigeria has with the help of foreign governments recovered huge sums of monies linked to the late dictator following his death from a heart attack in 1998.
