Revisit 1986 Coup Allegation, Late Vatsa’s Family Asks Nigerian Government 

The family of the late Major-General Mamman Vatsa has appealed to the federal government to investigate the trial and the eventual killing of their son.

Vatsa, a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), was allegedly implicated in a coup plot and executed in 1986 by the regime of the then military dictator, Gen Ibrahim Babangida (rtd).
