Throwback Video Of Gen. Diya Crying And Begging Late General Sani Abacha

Below is a leaked video clip of Former Ogun State Leader, General Oladipo Diya, grovelling at General Sani Abacha’s feet, crying and begging the late Head of State over the 1997 coup allegation.

Gen. Diya was cross-examined at the Human Rights Violation Commission (HRVIC) on the coup plan of 1997 to overthrow Gen. Sanni Abacha. He bluntly denied the fact that he was part of the plan, but he admitted he knew about the plan.

He further explained that he was afraid of being killed by the Coup Master Planner if he revealed the plan. He denied pleading with Gen. Sanni Abacha but was shocked to see the video where he truly knelt down before Gen. Sanni Abacha as tendered by the Lawyer.

Earlier, Gen. Diya Oladipo was appointed as Chief of Defence Staff. He was appointed Chief of General Staff in 1993 and Vice Chairman of the Provisional Ruling Council in 1994. In 1997, Diya and dissident soldiers in the military allegedly planned to overthrow the regime of Sani Abacha.

The alleged coup was uncovered by forces loyal to Abacha, and Diya and his cohorts were jailed. Diya was tried in a military tribunal and was given the death penalty. Upon the untimely death of Abacha in 1998, Diya was pardoned by the late Head of State’s successor, Abdusalami Abubakar.
