Abacha was Nigeria military head of State from 1993 to 1998 until when he kicked bucket, there were different speculation about his father and which some believed he was given a poisoned apple to eat by one of his side chicks which they both ate and died and other speculation said he fell ill and died. There is no definite cause of his death recorded, until his death. He was a ruthless leader feared by all, some foreign powers compared him to Idi Amin of Ugandan.
He never liked the Western world and he ruled nigeria as an independent country, during his reign a dollar to Naira remain stable at 22 naira. Abacha is said to have looted money that even his 5th generation cannot finish.

If this money was judiciously used by Abacha during his time, Nigeria would have been like Dubai and competing with Singapore. But he choose to loot it all and every year, we get a share of his loot back to the country.
This leads me to a question, How much did Abacha loot in total?
