Abiola's death: an unresolved controversy

In 1993, Abiola ran for the presidency of Nigeria and appeared to win the popular vote in what was considered a free and fair election. The vote was annulled by Nigeria’s military leader on the basis that the election was corrupt. When Abiola rallied support to claim the
presidency, he was arrested for treason by the military regime led by General Sani Abacha and sent to prison for four years
In June 1998, General Abacha was found dead under mysterious circumstances. One month later, on the day that Abiola was to be released from prison,

MKO Abiola is the symbol of the nation’s quest for a soul. He sacrificed everything to fight governments that took everything but his Hope away from him. In losing his life, he gave Nigeria a soul to know the capability of a desperate government and the hope to fight injustice.
Unfortunately, most of the characters who fought alongside Abiola then, with some fleeing the country and others ending up in jail, have become the dictators they once fought.
On this anniversary of injustice, some Nigerians are again on the street to protest, and that #BuhariMustGo. Of course Buhari won’t go. Anywhere.

1. #StOnuphrius lived [in the 4th century] some time in a monastery of 100 monks, near Thebes in Egypt. A desire of imitating the solitude of St John Baptist moved him to seek a retreat in the most solitary wilderness of that country. #June12

2. He for some years struggled with grievous temptations; but by perseverance overcame them, and by the exercises of holy solitude prepared his soul for the closest communications with God, in which he found the repose of his heart, the comfort of his earthly pilgrimage,
3. and a kind of anticipation of the eternal enjoyment of heaven.

Lots of people gathering now around Sogo in Causeway Bay for #June12 anniversary. Poster of that day’s events are displayed. Lots of police too, both riot & undercover. Remember:all protests are still banned &police have announced thousands of cops are out tonight to prevent them
20.08 In Mong Kok, a large number of citizens have been indiscriminately kettled, presumably for stop&search. This is a frequently employed rights-abusing technique of the police. Very large police presence near Langham Place.
People also gathering in New Town Plaza mall in Sha Tin.

Yesterday, 9/2, at least 74,700 protesters took part in dozens of protests around #HK: secondary & university student strike rallies, general strike rally, medical workers at several hospitals, students at dozens of schools, Mong Kok police station. Not bad for a rainy day.
In all now, 7,889,781 demonstrators have taken part in at least 83 demonstrations in the #HK freedom movement of the summer of 2019. medium.com/@KongTsungGan/…
That's a conservative estimate, given that there are no precise head counts for 19 of those protests & they're therefore not included in that total of 7,889,781. Just since last Thursday, hundreds of thousands of #HK people have participated in 7 major protests.
#HK CRACKDOWN WATCH UPDATE: Of the 49 arrested in Sheung Wan on #July28, on July 31, 44 were charged w 'riot' & 1 w illegal possession of an offensive weapon. Of the 4 others, 2 were released on bail & 2 released unconditionally.

Majority of Nigerians were not alive when the events of June 12 unfolded. These 2 men below were evil personified. The one wanted to perpetuate himself in power while the other lent himself to evil. It culminated in the evil rule of Abacha and death of MKO #June12 #DemocracyDay
After years of rigmarole and deceit, the one agreed to elections which took place. The other in connivance with the one, set up the "Association for Better Nigeria". ABN procured a never before heard of midnight injunction from a criminal Judge that the one used to annul June12
When The Evil One, the man who took pleasure in being addressed as the "Evil Genius" annulled the elections, there was an uproar of unprecedented proportions and he was forced to "step aside". A term he coined to avoid the disgrace of being forced out
The faces of the 12 Judas of #June12 who denied MKO Abiola the mandate freely given to him by Nigerians.
