According to the Newswatch of 13
August 1990, Alex Aigbe is a civilian who, together with the Great
Ogburu, is wanted by the Nigerian authorities for his involvement
in the 22 April 1990 coup d'etat attempt (12). An article
published in West Africa of 29 March 1992, stated that 11
people who were detained "as possible accomplices following
suspected involvement of their relatives or friends in the abortive
coup of April 22, 1990," were released. Edward Aigbe and Beckey
Aigbe were among those released although the article does not
indicate whether these two are related to Alex Aigbe. Other than
information contained in Response to the Information Request
NGA11424, the DIRB in Ottawa has no further information on Alex
Aigbe. For additional information on the release of the detainees,
please refer to the attached documents.
