Former Nigerian Head of State, Abdulsalami Abubakar, will chair the public presentation of Babatunde (RSB) Bello-Fadile’s memoirs.
The book titled, ‘Nine Lives: The Bello-Fadile Memoirs’, gives an insight into the remarkable life of the author as he navigated from a difficult early childhood through a career in the Nigerian Army that ended with his arrest over the alleged 1995 coup attempt.
“Knowing the immense danger that lay ahead of daring to dream of a democratic Nigeria during my time in the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, I did it all the same. I conquered every fear of failure with high spirits and earnest belief in the opportunities that come with true democracy,” Bello-Fadile wrote in the memoir.
After facing a special military tribunal, he was found guilty of treason and sentenced to death by firing squad in July 1995.
Mr Bello-Fadile was one of the political prisoners released by General Abubakar in 1999, after the death of General Sani Abacha.
