## Resource

After the annulment of the 1993 Nigerian presidential election annulment, M.K.O. Abiola openly challenged the military regime and declared himself Nigeria's rightful president, refusing to abandon his mandate despite mounting pressure. His defiance led to years of detention without trial, culminating in his controversial death in custody in 1998 under circumstances that continue to spark debate and suspicion.
