Abacha was a Muslim of Kanuri extraction. He was commissioned in 1963, after he had attended the Mons Defence Officers cadet Training College in Aldershot, England. Before then, he had attended the Nigerian Military Training College in Kaduna. He took part in the countercoup of July 1966, from the conceptual stage, and may have been a participant in the Lagos or Abeokuta phases of the January 1966 coup. He was also a prominent figure in three coup d'etats of later decades, the first two of which brought and removed General Muhammadu Buhari from power in 1983. When General Ibrahim Babangida was named President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 1985, Abacha was named Chief of Army Staff. He was later appointed Minister of Defence in 1990.[3][4]

Abacha took over power from the caretaker government of Chief Ernest Shonekan, who was put into place by General Ibrahim Babangida after his annulment of the 12 June 1993 elections (won by Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola) caused a massive popular uproar.

I Think we should drop all religions and ethnic beefs aside. In Gen. Abacha's time, Nigeria excelled alot better than we're currently doing.

But I still believe God's knows best to have ended his life at the time he did.

@flintskull1 A bastered and unreasonable who claim to be educated is more useless who don't even know his religion making an ignorant assertation of which is not true.

@flintskull1 Go and read please, educate yourself. The Renaissance, which led to the Western 'Enlightenment', which in turn ushered in 'Modern' Scientific thought, which in turn gave birth to the computer you typed your silly comment from, came from Muslims during the Medieval period, a period when Europe was in its 'Dark Ages'. If you don't know about Muslims, go read about us please. I challenge YOU to bring me ONE VERSE in our Book that condones indiscriminate violence.......I'll be waiting.
