‘Who The Hell Is Bamaiyi That I Would Want To Kill Him? – Obasanjo Speaks On Former Army Chief’s Claims



Former President Olusegun Obasanjo on Sunday, April 9 denied claims by former Chief of Army Staff, Ishaya Bamaiyi in his book, ‘Vindication of a General’ that he plotted to kill him for fear of overthrowing his government.
The former President made the disclosure while playing host to members of the Correspondents Chapel, Nigeria Union of Journalists, Ogun Chapter, at his hilltop residence in Abeokuta.
Obasanjo explained that his administration only asked Bamaiyi to answer to those that he was alleged to have killed, saying that the decision was legitimate.
“That I wanted to kill him? What of the people he killed? My government did not plot to kill him.
“My government asked him to answer to those that were alleged to have been killed by him and that is legitimate.
“That if there is an allegation that you have done something, that you have committed a crime, then you are arrested, you should answer and that is all.
“Who the hell is he that I would want to kill him? Kill him for what? To achieve what? No!
“There were allegations, the police and the law enforcement agencies decided to look into the allegations.
“They invited him and they asked him to answer as a result of what was found, so they charged him to court.
“So, it’s now up to him, the investigators as I said, the prosecutors and the judiciary. That’s all,” Obasanjo said.
Recall that Bamaiyi had recently alleged that his incarceration for more than eight years was punishment for opposing the choice of the Ota farmer as successor to former Head of State, Abdulsalami Abubakar.
