Why Was Major-gen. Mamman Vatsa Killed? by AbuMikey(m): 11:30am On Jan 04, 2016
Why was Major-Gen Mamman. Vatsa killed by IBB?

Was He actually Planning a coup?

Was it because He openely condemed the failed Dimka led coup, and so got a Few enemies?

Did He Actually report to Buhari before Traveling to Mecca for Pilgrimage about an impending IBB led Coup, as He was being accused of?

Was it because a Civilian tagged Him "Nigeria's next President" in an aired event?


Why should a Man who had never Participated in any Coup be treated that badly on just mere allegations?

Why was He sentenced to death on the charge of "Conspiracy to Commit Treason", when in Prior cases like that of Chief Awolowo in 1962/63 and Bukar Madara in 1982, attracted a punishment of long Prison sentence?

A coup plot was being planned and it is my belief that Vasta unconsciously got involved in the whole thing. From the events that occurred, it was not properly planned(maybe Vasta was being set up by IBB).

As IBB best pal,Vasta should have been commuted to life sentence. Only IBB knows why he killed his best friend.

IBB was Vatsas childhood friend and classmate. The both joined the Nigerian Army on the same day. IBB was also Vatsas Best man at Vatsas wedding.

IBB once said in interview that he had no regrets executing Vatsa because even if he had commuted Vatsa to life imprisonment, Vatsa would still have been planning a coup from jail. Another thing was that IBB gave Vatsa ample opportunity to desist from coup plotting. IBB openly confronted Vatsa on the rumours that he was planning a coup, Vatsa denied it.

When Vatsa was about to be executed, the last thing he did was to take off his watch and asked that it should be given to his wife.

Mamman Vatsa was a classmate of IBB which automatically made him the next in line systematically to IBB. He tendered his resignation letter to IBB but IBB refused to approve it on the ground that they are best friends. Unknown to Vatsa, the Maradonna was plotting something beyond reasonable doubt. IBB made him FCT minister which was not so powerful at that time but was still scared of Vatsa (Everyone loved Vatsa). IBB was a paranoid man who could eliminate the slightest threat he got from anyone including journalists (Dele Giwa). I'm at the office, to be continued..........
