overthrew Major General Muhammadu Buhari in a coup, until his departure from office on 27 August 1993,
having annulled the elections held on 12 June that year. General Babangida was a key player in most of the military coups in Nigeria (July 1966, February 1976, December 1983, August 1985, December 1985 and April 1990). There is evidence of severe human rights abuses during his regime.
Ibrahim Babangida was born in 1941, Minna, Niger State. His parents are Muhammad and Aisha Babangida. He is from the Gwari ethnic group.[3] On 6 September 1969, he married Maryam (née King) Babangida (First Lady of Nigeria 1985–93). They had four children together: Muhammadu, Aminu, Aishatu, and Halimatu.[3] Maryam Babangida died from complications of ovarian cancer on 27 December 2009.
