According to him, Abacha attributed his surrender to the intense operations of MNJTF and his dwindling interest in the cause.

Osaba further stated that on surrender, Abacha handed over one AK-47 rifle, a magazine loaded with 11 rounds of 7.62 mm ammunition, a mobile phone, an Airtel Sim card, and N32,500.
