In 1979, the president of a small country on the west coast of Central Africa was found guilty of genocide, mass murder, embezzlement of public funds, violations of human rights and treason. He was sentenced to death, but nobody was willing to form part of a firing squad in order to execute him. The reason for this? The President was also a witch doctor, and swore that his ghost would return and take vengeance on anybody who had helped condemn him.
In this week's case, Benny covers one of the most brutal dictators in history; a man by the name of Macías Nguema.
