The wife of former military leader Sani Abacha denied claims about stolen money. Maryam Abacha said her husband saved funds for Nigeria that disappeared after he died. She challenged people to show proof of foreign bank accounts. The widow asked for witnesses or signatures that could prove the allegations. She believes critics unfairly blame her late husband without evidence.
General Abacha ruled Nigeria from 1993 until his death on June 8, 1998. Countries like Switzerland found millions of dollars linked to his family. Courts froze the money and started returning it to Nigeria. Officials called this the Abacha loot recovery program. International banks held hundreds of millions connected to his government.
Mrs Abacha questioned why people attack her family over tribal or religious differences. She asked Nigerians to stop spreading lies about each other. The widow said the country needs more kindness between different groups. She prayed for unity among Christians and Muslims. Maryam wants northerners and southerners to treat each other fairly.
