In 1997 Diya and dissident soldiers in the military allegedly planned to overthrow the regime of Sani Abacha. The alleged coup was uncovered by forces loyal to Abacha, and Diya and his cohorts were jailed. Diya was tried in a military tribunal, and was given the death penalty. He also served as military governor of Ogun State from January 1984 to August 1985.. During General Diya’s trial, General Sani Abacha passed away. His successor, General Abdulsalami Abubakar, granted Diya a pardon. Diya's sentence was commuted, and he was released from prison. However, he was discharged from the army, stripped of his rank, and prohibited from using his military title. He spent most of his time attempting to recover possession of various properties seized by the government on his arrest. He made no attempt to explain how he purchased these lavish properties on the salary of a lieutenant general. Gen. Diya died in March 2023. #Historylovers
