In this gripping new episode of Fall of a Nation, we continue our journey into the rise and fall of General Sani Abacha. Your host, Kiki, uncovers the chilling tactics a man employed to seize and hold onto absolute power.

How did a military dictator maintain an iron grip on an entire nation? Through a calculated web of brutal suppression and cunning manipulation. We explore the infamous crackdown on the Ogoni Nine and the daring- and ultimately tragic- self-declaration of M.K.O. Abiola as president, which plunged Nigeria into a new era of fear.

But Abacha's control went beyond force. This episode reveals his mastery of patronage and corruption, using wealth and power to secure loyalty from allies, even orchestrating a "million-man march" in his support. We also examine his defiance on the international stage, as Nigeria became a pariah state and Abacha sought new, controversial alliances with countries like Iraq, Iran, and North Korea.

Don't miss the shocking details of how Sani Abacha ruled with an iron fist, stifled dissent, and reshaped Nigeria's destiny.
