Obasanjo revealed in a 2017 interview that Yar’Adua was injected with a virus by Abacha, which finally caused his death. He also acknowledged being shocked to have survived Abacha’s prison system, where he had been imprisoned alongside MKO and Shehu Yar’Adua. The entire tale will be revealed later tonight.
During Nigeria’s military takeover from 1976 until 1979, Shehu Musa Yar’Adua, a Nigerian politician and general, served as Supreme Headquarters’ Chief of Staff and as the country’s de facto vice president.
During the subsequent changeover from military to civilian government in the late 1980s and early 1990s, he was a well-known politician.
