Former President of Nigeria has written about the circumstances surrounding the death of his late wife, Stella.
It will be remembered that the First lady died on October 23, 2005 after tummy tuck went wrong in Spain. The surgery took place close to the commemoration of her 60th birthday.
Obasanjo, in his three-volumed book 'My Watch' has said he had no knowledge what she had gone to do until she died.
He wrote:
“After the interment, I decided to look into the circumstances of her death."
I found that part of her 60th birthday anniversary, which was unknown to me, was her operation for her tummy and her shape.”
“Before the verdict in Spain, I was unaware of what I came to hear later that I might have caused the death of my wife to sacrifice her for success in my job,” he wrote. “That is how wicked and satanic some Nigerians can be in their rumours and mischief.”
He also said the doctor in charge of the operation had been 'careless' and said he sought - and got - the help of the Nigerian Embassy in Spain and the Spanish authorities, and made sure justice was served in his wife's demise.
“I instructed that the doctor and the clinic be prosecuted,” he said. “The lost life cannot be brought back but the successful prosecution would prevent carelessness and loss of life in the future.”
