Al-Mustapha Dismisses Ex-DSS Operative’s Claims on Abacha’s Death Former Chief Security Officer to the late Head of State, Gen. Sani Abacha, Maj. Hamza Al-Mustapha (retd.), has dismissed claims made by former Department of State Services operative, Dennis Amachree, regarding the circumstances surrounding the late military ruler’s death. Al-Mustapha described the account as false and urged Nigerians to disregard it. He spoke with journalists on the sidelines of the 3rd General Hassan Usman Katsina Memorial Conference held at Arewa House in Kaduna on Saturday. His reaction followed renewed public attention on Amachree’s memoir, The Shadow Warrior, in which the retired DSS officer reportedly detailed his account of the events leading to Abacha’s death on June 8, 1998. Rejecting the claims, Al-Mustapha alleged that the account was fabricated and did not reflect what transpired. “The boy was asked by others to write those lies.

 Boko Haram terrorist attack on Chad army base kills at least 24 people


An overnight attack by suspected Boko Haram terrorists on a Chadian military base has killed at least 24 people, a military official and regional administrator told AFP on Tuesday.


The Barka Tolorom base is on the shores of Lake Chad, which straddles Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria.


The raid late on Monday "left 25 people dead and 46 others wounded on the Chadian army side," the army source told AFP.


The administrative official gave a toll of "24 dead and several wounded."


'Cowardly attack'


Both attributed the attack to Boko Haram, with the administrator insisting that "the situation is under control."


"Once again, the nebulous Boko Haram terrorist group carried out a cowardly attack last night on our military base at Barka Tolorom," Chadian President Mahamat Idriss Deby Itno said on Tuesday in a Facebook post.


"We will continue the fight with renewed determination until this threat is completely eradicated," he pledged, offering his condolences to the bereaved families.


Soldiers have come under increased attacks from Boko Haram terrorists in the Lake Chad region, with an October 2024 attack leaving some 40 dead in the Chadian army's ranks.


President leads counterterrorism efforts


Recent months have also seen a surge in attacks by the group's JAS faction, including kidnappings and attacks on advanced army positions, especially on the islands and along Niger's portion of the lake's shores.


In response to the October 2024 attack, Deby launched a counter-offensive which he vowed to "personally" lead on the ground for two weeks.


After that offensive ended in February 2025, the army insisted that Boko Haram had "no more sanctuary on Chadian territory."
