Sabrina calmly drives through the streets of an upscale neighborhood, reflecting on her new position as the state attorney general and the changes she hopes to implement. She feels confident and empowered, especially knowing that she has the power to make a significant difference in combating discrimination and abuse of authority.

When pulled over by Officer Miller, Sabrina remains calm, aware that she’s facing an unfounded stop. The officer treats her with disdain, questioning the legitimacy of her car and her presence in the neighborhood without realizing who she really is. Sabrina tries to stay in control, even when Miller searches and publicly humiliates her, attracting curious and suspicious glances from passersby. She makes a silent call that will be crucial for what happens next…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Sabrina adjusted the rearview mirror as she drove down the wide avenue lined with elegant mansions and pristine gardens. She had just left a meeting with her team and was excited about what was to come. That day, she would present her proposals for reforms to combat discrimination within the police force, a personal project that for her represented a crucial step in her journey.

Sabrina had always known her path would be challenging. The daughter of teachers, she learned early on the weight of prejudice and the need to fight it with intelligence and dignity. Becoming the attorney general was more than a professional achievement; it was a personal victory, proof that she could defy expectations and transform the system from within.

She was distracted, thinking about how to approach the sensitive issues that needed immediate attention. That’s when she saw the blue lights flashing in the rearview mirror. A police car was quickly approaching, and soon the sound of the siren echoed through the quiet street. Sabrina frowned; she knew she hadn’t done anything wrong. She wasn’t speeding, nor had she violated any traffic rules.

“It can’t be for me,” she muttered, incredulous. But just in case, she slowed down and pulled over.

On the other side, Officer Miller adjusted his utility belt with a brusque motion and got out of the car, his walk conveying the sense of authority he carried. The wind rustled his stack of warnings as he approached Sabrina’s car with firm steps and an expression that mixed boredom with disdain. He was used to these stops, but he would never have guessed that he was about to cross paths with someone very different from what he assumed.

“License and registration, please,” Miller ordered, his voice sounding more like a command than a request.

Sabrina calmly opened the glove compartment and took out the documents. She looked up at Miller, noticing the way he assessed her, as if he had already decided she didn’t belong there, driving such an expensive car in a neighborhood like that. She handed over the documents, keeping a polite but firm smile.

“Whose car is this?” Miller asked, ignoring the fact that he was in possession of all the necessary documents.

“Mine,” Sabrina replied, firmly but without arrogance.

Miller paused, finally looking at her directly for the first time. The way he looked at her, with a mix of doubt and disdain, made Sabrina feel a tightening in her chest. To him, Sabrina’s words were irrelevant. He had already decided she didn’t have the right to that vehicle.

“And you expect me to believe that?” he scoffed, tossing the documents back onto the passenger seat as if they were trash. “Get out of the car. Now.”

Sabrina hesitated for a second. She knew that this moment could easily turn into a trap, but there wasn’t much she could do. She got out of the car slowly, keeping her hands visible—a gesture she had learned to do from a young age when dealing with police officers. It was a move of self-preservation, a constant reminder that she couldn’t give any reason for him to act against her.

“Is there a problem, officer?” she asked, keeping her voice calm, even as she felt her heart pounding in her chest.

Miller moved closer, ignoring her question. He observed her from head to toe, his gaze heavy, almost offensive. Sabrina could feel his eyes scanning every detail—not as an officer concerned with safety, but as someone determined to prove a point. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

“We received a call about a car like this one involved in suspicious activity. Are you sure these documents are really yours?” He looked her up and down as if trying to find something out of place, something that would confirm his prejudiced suspicions.

“They are mine,” Sabrina responded, looking him straight in the eye. “If you want, I can show you the vehicle registration.”

“I’m not interested in what you want to show,” Miller cut her off with an ironic smile. He walked around the car as if expecting to find some incriminating evidence, something to validate his stop. “You know, you seem pretty sure of yourself, but what guarantees me these documents aren’t fake? It wouldn’t be the first time I’ve seen that.”

By this point, some people had started to stop and watch the scene—a man with a dog, a woman pushing a stroller. Sabrina felt like she was part of an outdoor spectacle, and every look she received was a knife stabbing at her dignity. She kept her head held high, even as Miller rummaged through the car with rough hands, opening compartments and throwing her personal belongings onto the floor of the vehicle.

Miller searched the car without finding anything, but he didn’t seem willing to give up. He pulled up the car’s floor mats, opened the glove compartment again, took out papers, and leafed through them one by one, as if expecting to find something incriminating. When he opened Sabrina’s bag, he dumped the contents onto the car’s hood, scattering personal items for everyone around to see.

Sabrina felt her face burn with anger and shame, but she kept her composure.

“This is ridiculous,” Sabrina said, her voice firmer. “I’m being extremely cooperative. There’s no reason to continue with this humiliation.”

“Ridiculous?” Miller laughed, a dry laugh full of sarcasm. “What’s ridiculous is thinking you can drive a car like this and expect no one to question it. Let’s see how you explain this down at the station.” He picked up his radio and started speaking in codes, quickly calling for backup and informing them that he was taking Sabrina to the station.

Sabrina heard the word “station” and knew the situation was about to worsen. She tried to intervene. “This isn’t necessary, officer. There’s nothing wrong. We can resolve this right here.”

“I decide what’s necessary,” Miller retorted, already impatient. “Get in the police car.”

Sabrina felt her indignation grow, but she controlled her breathing. Instead of reacting, she grabbed her phone and made a quick call, speaking softly while Miller watched her with a skeptical expression.

“Oh sure, calling someone,” he mocked.

But Sabrina just smiled calmly and hung up. “All right then, officer. I’m ready.”

As Miller escorted her to the police car, Sabrina felt the weight of each step. She knew this stop was more than a simple misunderstanding—it was a reflection of a system that had long needed change. With every look she received from the curious onlookers, her determination strengthened.

July 29 In Nigerian History: Aguiyi-Ironsi And Fajuyi Assassinated In Ibadan

Aguiyi-Ironsi (L) and Adekunle Fajuyi (R)

Nigeria has seen the rise and fall of many military regimes since she became a sovereign state in 1960 and this, at every turn, has altered the direction of the country.

A second coup since independence which happened on July 29, 1966, would see to the brutal death of Nigeria’s Supreme Commander, General J.T.C Aguiyi-Ironsi (the nation’s 1st military head of state) and his friend, Lieutenant Colonel Francis Adekunle Fajuyi, who was the sitting and 1st Military Governor of the Western Region…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Aguiyi-Ironsi was a guest at the Government House, Ibadan, as he came to hold a meeting with traditional rulers in the Western region. Ironsi arrived Ibadan the previous day and unknowingly, he met his death during the counter-coup which is generally believed to be a retaliation to the January 15th 1966 coup in which prominent Northerners in power were killed.

The Northerners were believed to hold a grudge since the first coup as they lost leaders including Alhaji Abubakar Tafawa Balewa (Nigerian Prime Minister) and Sir Ahmadu Bello (Sardauna of Sokoto and Premier of the Northern Region). They tagged it an ‘Igbo Coup’ as no Eastern casualty was recorded in both the military and public service as even the West lost Chief Samuel Ladoke Akintola in the coup.

This counter-coup of July 29, 1966, led by General Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma was tagged the bloodiest coup by many in the history of Nigeria. Ironsi and Fajuyi’s death which still remains a controversial debate among historians because how they were killed isn’t clear but both bodies were found in a bush in outskirts of Ibadan. Read a comprehensive account of how Aguiyi-Ironsi was killed here.

Aside from the Head of State and Western Military governor, many other casualties were recorded in the army and most killed or maimed were Easterners, particularly Igbos. This will be one of the many reasons the country would go into a civil war the following year as the Eastern region tried seceding.

54 years after, we remember this gruesome act done in the Brown Roof City and how much has happened or changed since then.

This Is Why An American Magazine Labelled Sani Abacha as “Thug of the Year” In 1995

Published

on

By

General Sani Abacha is perhaps Nigeria’s most enigmatic head of state. He reigned from 1993 until his death in 1998. General Abacha was born in Kano state, northern Nigeria on September 20, 1943. He hails from Kanuri in Borno state.

He passed out of the Nigerian Military Training Centre in Kaduna where he proceeded to Mons Officer Cadet School in Aldershot, England before being commissioned as a 2nd lieutenant in 1963.

He is held by some as Nigeria’s most successful coup plotter. When he was still a Second Lieutenant with the 3rd Battalion in Kaduna, he took part in the July 1966 Nigerian counter-coup from the conceptual stage. He could well have been a participant in the Lagos or Abeokuta phases of the coup the previous January as well…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

Abacha fought for Nigeria in the country’s civil war against Biafran secessionists continuing to rise through the army ranks.

He was instrumental in the 1983 Nigerian coup d’état which brought General Muhammadu Buhari to power as well as the August 1985 coup which removed him from power. He announced the coup which removed the government of Shehu Shagari.

When General Ibrahim Babangida was named President of Nigeria in 1985, Abacha was named Chief of Army Staff. He was appointed Minister of Defence in 1990. With Babangida’s resignation, an interim government headed by civilian President, Ernest Shonekan was formed.

Sani Abacha became the first Nigerian soldier to attain the rank of a full General without skipping a single rank in 1993. In the same year, he moved for the ultimate.

Shonekan resigned and transferred power to Sani Abacha in a move widely believed to be another bloodless coup. In September 1994, he issued a decree that placed his government above the jurisdiction of the courts, effectively giving him absolute power. Another decree gave him the right to detain anyone for up to three months without trial.

General Sani Abacha

Abacha is noted for helping restore peace and democracy to Sierra Leone and Liberia after the civil wars.

On his administration of the Nigerian state proper, he established The Petroleum Trust Fund aimed to address major economic issues facing the country at the time. Between 25-100km of urban road in major cities such as Kano, Gusau, Benin, Funtua, Zaria, Enugu, Kaduna, Aba, Lagos, Lokoja, and Port Harcourt was planned to be constructed each. A N27.3bn contract was awarded for road rehabilitation in the first quarter of 1996.

There was a restructuring of major insurance companies that supported SMEs across the entire country.

Abacha mandated the PTF to publicise its accounts as it was the second-largest public corporation at the time. In 1997, the account of PTF showed that it disbursed N24.3bn on roads, N21.2bn on security, N7.8bn on health, and N3bn on other projects. Other disbursements include N2.2bn on water supply, N936m on food supply and N476m on education. It realized a total of N1.049bn from various investment activities.

It’s curious the sums which emerged after his death that he stashed in overseas accounts as the Abacha administration became the first to record unprecedented economic achievements overseeing an increase in the country’s foreign exchange reserves from $494 million in 1993 to $9.6 billion by the middle of 1997.

He also reduced the external debt of Nigeria from $36 billion in 1993 to $27 billion by 1997. His Petroleum (Special) Trust Fund is also hailed for infrastructural projects and interventionist programmes in education, water and health.

His wife is credited with setting up the National Hospital in Abuja viewed as Nigeria’s foremost national hospital, which was initially set up as a hospital for women and children before its upgrade.

Nonetheless, Abacha was ruthless with groups he considered hostile to his administration between 1993 and 1998. There was a crackdown on the civil rights groups, media and pro-democracy groups.

It was also under him that Nigeria became a perpetual importer of petroleum products as the refineries packed up. The emergence of the ‘foul fuel’ which damaged car engines and released a repugnant smell was in his time.

General Sani Abacha earned the title ‘Thug of the Year’ from Time magazine in 1995 after the execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa. Abacha developed the habit of working only at night. Availing himself to be seen publicly rarely while being averse to granting interviews.

The events of his death on June 8, 1998, at the presidential villa in Abuja are murky and while the official account is that he suffered a heart attack, other accounts say he was in the company of two Indian sex workers flown in from Dubai when he died. He was buried on the same day, according to Muslim tradition, without an autopsy. This fueled speculation that he may have been murdered by political rivals via poison.

Foreign diplomats, including United States Intelligence analysts, believed that his drink or fruit (apple) was laced with a poisonous substance while in the company of prostitutes.

Abacha was married to Maryam Abacha with whom he had had seven sons and three daughters.

In March 2014, the United States Department of Justice revealed that it had frozen more than $458 million believed to have been illegally obtained by Abacha and other corrupt officials.

On 7 August 2014, the United States Department of Justice announced the largest forfeiture in its history: the return of $480 million to the Nigerian government.

Stashed sums in other accounts have been discovered with the Nigerian government working to have the funds returned.
