Nigerian entrepreneur Isaac Fayose has raised serious doubts about the circumstances surrounding the recovery of former Nigerian Army spokesman Major General Abubakar Rabe’s body after his death in captivity. In a video posted on his Facebook page, Fayose questioned how authorities managed to retrieve the remains so quickly and without a proper autopsy.
According to reports, the retired general was kidnapped by terrorists weeks ago and died on Saturday while still in their custody. The Katsina State Government stated that he succumbed to complications from pre-existing health conditions, and he was buried shortly after. However, many are puzzled by the swift recovery of his body.
Fayose, expressing suspicion of foul play, declared that the country is beyond repair. He asked, ‘How did they know where to pick up the body? Who informed them of his death? The family attributed his death to diabetes and hypertension, but who conducted the autopsy? How can they be certain?’
He drew a comparison to a recent case in Oyo, where a school teacher was beheaded, yet the body has not been released to this day. ‘They couldn’t release the man alive, but they released his body for burial. Meanwhile, the teacher’s body remains unreleased. The more you look, the less you see. Nigeria is finished.’
