He took over power through a somewhat peaceful coup that ousted the interim government of Ernest Shonekan from power. Abacha's nearly 5-year rule saw an increase in human rights abuses, several political assassinations, and increased corruption. Chief MKO Abiola, the winner of the June 12 1993 elections, who was imprisoned during Abacha's regime, died in prison. General Sani Abacha also imprisoned former leaders like Olusegun Obasanjo and Shehu Musa Yaradua and oversaw the hanging of Ken Saro Wiwa and 8 Ogoni indigenes. **** All materials in this video are used for educational purposes and fall within the guidelines of fair use.
