Navy Captain Benson Adewunmi Agbaje was appointed Military Administrator of
Nigerian Fourth Republic.[1]
In March 1999, he apparently ordered the arrest of Emeka Mamah, the chief correspondent of the Vanguard newspapers in Enugu, an unusual move during the transition to democracy.[2]
He was forced to retire in June 1999 under a law that affected all military ministers, governors and administrators in the Babangida,
Abacha and Abubakar regimes.[3]
