This former army officer boldly led a coup d’état in Equatorial Guinea in 2004. He was imprisoned for 34 years but received a presidential pardon from President Teodoro Obiang Nguema in 2009.

He got screwed by Mark Thatcher.
He deserved jail but others deserved it too. Shame on Mark Thatcher and his thieving moral compass that was only ever out for himself and to capitalise on the fame of his parents
