The text describes the death of Moshood Abiola, a Nigerian businessman and politician who was a candidate in the June 12, 1993 presidential election. The election was marred by allegations of fraud and the winner, Bashir Tofa, was not recognized by the military junta that took power. Abiola was imprisoned for four years for claiming his mandate and after his release, he was subjected to a "stage-managed" circus show involving the ruling cabal and international community. The text suggests that the ruling junta may have killed Abiola as a means of eliminating him and his mandate. The text also notes that this is a tragedy for the Abiola family, who have already suffered loss due to their fight for the actualization of the June 12 mandate.
