Yemi Osinbajo  Former military dictator, Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida, is set to launch his autobiography, "A Journey in Service", on February 20, despite concerns about his regime's dark past. The book launch, which will also serve as a fundraising event for the IBB Presidential Library, has sparked controversy, with some critics questioning the timing and content of the memoir.

Human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, has tagged Babangida's memoir as a "journey in falsehood" unless it addresses several unresolved issues from his reg...
