In an eye-opening video shared by TV Platinum on Monday, June 15, 2026, prominent human rights advocate and former presidential candidate for the African Action Congress (AAC) in the 2023 elections, Omoyele Sowore, took to the platform to share his critical reflections on the shocking and tragic death of retired General Abubakar Rabe. General Rabe, who was formerly the spokesperson for the Nigerian Army, was recently found dead under grim circumstances. It has been reported that he was held captive by insurgents prior to his untimely demise, sparking widespread outrage and concern across the nation.
In a surprising turn of events, Sowore revealed some unsettling details about how the situation unfolded. He disclosed that the insurgents, after returning General Rabe’s body to the authorities, reportedly engaged in a handshake with government officials—which raises serious questions about the nature of the negotiations surrounding his release. Even more shocking was his revelation that the insurgents managed to secure a ransom payment from the government in exchange for returning the general’s remains. “They officially delivered his remains to the government, had a handshake with the government, and received their payment,” Sowore stated, underscoring the troubling dynamics between the government and these insurgent groups.
This incident highlights a disturbing reality in Nigeria, where the lines between authority and insurgent groups seem alarmingly blurred. The implications of such exchanges have caused outrage among citizens, who are left to grapple with the implications of these kinds of agreements and what they mean for national security.
For those interested in delving deeper into this analysis, be sure to check out the video clip, specifically from the 1:33 to 1:41 minute mark, where Sowore articulates these critical points with clarity and conviction. His insights are not only thought-provoking but also pivotal in understanding the broader context of human rights and governance issues in Nigeria today.
