You're Not A Doctor To Say Abacha Died From Handshake With President Arafat's Guard -Amachree Warns Al-Mustapha

Dennis Amachree, a former DSS boss, has dismissed claims by Major Hamza Al-Mustapha who said that General Sani Abacha died from a handshake with one of the bodyguards of President Yasser Arafat

In an interview with TVC, Amachree said Al-Mustapha is not a medical doctor and therefore cannot determine that a handshake was responsible for Abacha’s death. He stated that Al-Mustapha does not know the exact cause of Abacha's death.

Amachree said he personally interrogated the sister of Abacha’s girlfriend, who was reportedly with him when he died. 

He stated that during questioning, she denied having any role in his death. He added that he believes Abacha most likely died from a heart attack.

In Amachree's words: "I know that Al-Mustapha is not a doctor to say that Arafat's bodyguard shook the president and that was what killed him. He is not a doctor, he does not know what killed Abacha"
