Abacha's Death: What really happened in Aso Villa?

General Sani Abacha’s sudden death on June 8, 1998, sparked widespread speculation, with conflicting reports and conspiracy theories surrounding the circumstances of his demise. Some speculated that he had been poisoned, possibly by political rivals, while others claimed he had consumed an apple laced with poison in the company of Indian sex workers. While the Nigerian government announced that the Head of State had died of a heart attack, Abacha’s family never publicly disclosed the exact cause of his death, merely announcing that, in accordance with Islamic customs, he would be buried within 24 hours. As a result, no official autopsy was conducted, and speculation continues to this day—was it a heart attack or an assassination?
