The family members and kinsmen of late Major General Mamman Vatsa in Gulu community, Lapai Local Government Area of Niger State, have appealled to the Federal Government to grant him a posthumous pardon, saying the late general fought for the unity of Nigeria.
This was coming barely 35 years after his arrest, trial and execution for participating in a military coup against the former military administration of Gen. Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida.
A cousin to the deceased general and a former minister of Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Mr. Jonathan Tsado Vatsa, made the appeal at the weekend, in an interactive session with select newsmen, in Minna on behalf of the family and the community.
