Noo Saro-Wiwa, the daughter of Nigerian writer, television producer, environmental activist, Kenule Beeson "Ken" Saro-Wiwa has taken to her Facebook page to celebrate the 25th anniversary of her father who was executed by the Nigerian Military Government on 10th November 1995 alongside 8 others in Port Harcourt.

Noo Saro-Wiwa disclosed that they had to exhume the remains of her father, who was buried in an unmarked grave, with their own hands decades later in order to give him a dignified burial. She also criticized the Nigerian Government for their failure to give her father an official pardon.

The then President of the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP), Saro-Wiwa led a nonviolent campaign against environmental degradation of the land and waters of Ogoniland by the operations of the multinational petroleum industry, especially the Royal Dutch Shell company.

At the peak of his non-violent campaign, he was tried by a special military tribunal for allegedly masterminding the gruesome murder of Ogoni chiefs at a pro-government meeting, and hanged in 1995 by the military dictatorship of General Sani Abacha. His execution provoked international outrage and resulted in Nigeria's suspension from the Commonwealth of Nations for over three years.

25 years ago today, my father Ken Saro-Wiwa and his eight colleagues were murdered by Nigeria’s military regime after a sham trial. Their only ‘crime’ was to peacefully pursue human rights for the Ogoni people and to campaign against oil spills in the oil-rich Niger Delta.

Their bodies were buried in an unmarked grave for almost a decade. When our family finally received my father’s remains we had to reassemble his skeleton with our own hands before giving him a dignified burial.

To this day the Nigerian government has not granted him an official pardon. It speaks volumes about our so-called democracy. No government can call itself civilised or claim any moral authority while it refuses to exonerate these innocent men. Black lives will matter outside of Africa only when they matter in Africa itself. #pardonkensarowiwa #pardontheogoni9

Sorry for the loss

Too bad of Nigerian government at that time

But Ojukwu gave him some insights which he bluntly refused... Until his eyes opened when it was late
The same is still going to happen to those that are refusing alliance thinking the Northerners are their brothers

Really bad, Nigeria's image was dented globally including several bans and sanctions. May he continue to rest in peace...

What ever it is u r going through can't be compare to someone else's.

Take deep breath, and chose to live one day at a time.

A lot happened and still happening . Oh my people . May heaven hear our voices

Descendants of Oduduw....

Ok

Another Niger DELTAN hero killed by yorubas and their Fulani buddies

Until we have reasonable leaders who reconcile our visible past mistakes. We will continue to wallow in ignorance of our existence.

TecM0:




Well .... Should another stupid revolution happen like the one Nzeugwu staged to kill Yoruba's and Northern leaders... Military would come back, Burutai would be far more ruthless as military head of state than Abacha... And they are both Kanuris

We better maintain our democracy and not let some evil people degenerate to chaos where Military takes over


.

Except that Burutai would also die in the coup. Any coup that happens now would be from the South, the North is in power now so they can't stage a coup.

He truly messed up and his fulani masters knowing how treacherous he was to Biafra wasted him immediately, Abacha was not going to allow him to do to him what ken did to Ojukwu during the war. Never betray your own people.!

In Nigeria, righteousness is sentenced to death by hypocrisy and demons. For one thing, there are many Saro Wiwa today. RIP to the legend.

Lol! So it's senior military cadre that usually organise coup abi. If there is a coup, I can tell you that Buratai and most other senior officers will be wiped out. Who is Buratai? Na wa o! See the way you talked as if Buratai na god

Read before you comment. Sarowiwa was protesting against the pollution of the environmental. He was looking for a way to remedy the harm done to the environment and was executed by Nigerian government.
