A family member of the late General Mamman Vatsa, Jonathan Vatsa, has criticized former Head of State, General Ibrahim Badamosi Babangida (IBB), over the execution of his brother.
Jonathan, in a statement released on Friday following Babangida’s claim that he had to execute Vatsa, who happens to be his childhood friend, because of national security, stated that his brother’s execution was unjust.
Papers News had earlier reported that Babangida, in excerpts from his autobiography, ‘A Journey of Service’, launched on February 20, 2025, revealed details of the foiled coup allegedly led by his childhood friend, Vatsa, and the difficult decision he faced in choosing between personal loyalty and national security.
