Abstract

Even by Nigeria’s standards political events over the past few months have been extraordinary. With the death of the head of state, General Sani Abacha, from a heart attack in June, swiftly followed by the death of the imprisoned opposition leader Chief Moshood Abiola in similar circumstances, Nigeria has been plunged into a crisis as deep as that which led to the outbreak of civil war in 1967.
