Hamza Al-Mustapha, former Chief Security Officer to Sani Abacha, has dismissed claims in Dennis Amachree's memoir that the late military ruler died during an intimate encounter.

Al-Mustapha, speaking in Kaduna, called the allegations false and politically motivated, insisting he possesses CCTV footage of Abacha's final moments.

The memoir claims Abacha suffered a coitus-induced cardiac arrest in the Presidential Villa Guest House, but Al-Mustapha rejected this, arguing it was fabricated to serve unnamed interests.He urged Nigerians to disregard the unverified claims, emphasizing it's unfair to accuse a deceased person without proof.Al-Mustapha has long contested popular narratives about Abacha's death, previously suggesting foul play rather than natural causes.

The controversy surrounds Abacha's death in 1998, which remains shrouded in speculation, especially given the proximity to Moshood Abiola's death under similar circumstances.

Al-Mustapha's latest comments highlight ongoing debates about the circumstances of Abacha's demise and the reliability of accounts from retired intelligence officers.
