Dennis Amachree, a former Assistant Director of the Department of State Services, has shared an eyewitness account concerning the final hours of the late Head of State, General Sani Abacha. He disclosed how state intelligence operatives tracked down and questioned the key individual who was present at the scene during the historic incident.
According to a video posted on the Official YouTube channel of TVC on Monday June 8, 2026, when asked about the conflicting rumors surrounding the leader’s sudden demise, he stated, “they arrested her and brought her, and when she came into my office, the first thing she said was, “I did not kill him,” but she knew he was dead before she left,” further explaining the intense interrogation process.
The veteran intelligence officer noted that the lady in question was the younger sister of the military ruler’s regular companion. He explained that after receiving urgent directives from the Abuja headquarters, his team successfully located her at a Lagos address, subsequently transporting her to the state command office for an immediate official debriefing.
Amachree stated that the young woman was visibly shaken but consistently maintained her innocence throughout the official encounter. Based on the detailed testimony gathered during the high-profile session, the retired director reiterated that the foundational evidence strongly points toward a sudden medical emergency rather than any suspected foul play inside the villa.
In his concluding remarks, the security expert explained that he included these specific historical details in his newly launched book to correct lingering public misconceptions. He emphasized that documenting accurate eyewitness accounts remains vital for preserving the true political history of the nation for future generations of Nigerians to study.
