Late Ken Saro Wiwa, Ogoni people and Igbo Nation

Loading …

The biggest crime committed against the Ogoni people was the
killing of Ken Saro Wiwa and his eight colleagues. Their crime was that they
mobilized their people against the exploitation of their land. The tribunal was
headed by Justice Ibrahim Auta. Other members of the tribunal were Justice
Etowa Eyo Arikpo, Lt Col. Hameed Ibrahim Ali (the incumbent Comptroller General
of Customs), while the government prosecutor was Mr Joseph Bodurin Daudu SAN.

The Provisional Ruling Council (PRC), the highest decision-making
body of the Abacha regime that took the decision to kill Saro Wiwa comprised
General Abacha, Maj. General Patrick Aziza (Minister of Communications under
Abacha); Major Gen. Tajudeen Olarenwaju (GOC); General Abdulsalami Abubakar
(Chief of Defence Staff); Lt. General Oladipo Diya (Chief of General Staff);
Maj. Gen. Victor Malu (GOC); Ibrahim Coomasie (Inspector General of Police);
Mike Akhigbe (Chief of Naval Staff); Maj. General Ishaya Bamaiyi (Chief of Army
Staff); Nsikak Eduok (Chief of Air Staff), and Lt. Gen. Jeremiah Useni
(Minister of the Federal Capital Territory). There was no Igbo man.

It was Chief Emeka Anyaoku, an Igbo man, who as the
secretary-general of the commonwealth of nations, that led a protest that made
the Commonwealth of Nations to rise to the occasion, and warned Abacha not to
carry out his wicked act. Although he later did, the Commonwealth under Anyaoku
sanctioned Nigeria.

Today, ask an Ogoni man to show you his enemy, he will point
at an Igbo man.

May the spirit of Saro Wiwa, and his eight colleagues hunt
you for your foolishness.. An eye opener..

Kenule Saro Wiwa was the champion of that foolishness. A man
educated at the famous Government College Umuahia ( Fishers) and University of
Nigeria,vNsukka. He led the federal forces against the Biafrans and for his
betrayal was made Administrator of South east state. He asked that Igbo
properties be declared abandoned properties and be forfeited to them. He
personally took over Ojukwu father’s property in Port Harcourt which he occupied
at a time with a certain Lt. Sani Abacha his friend and killer. To rub in the
humiliation of Igbos whom he hated so much, he wrote ” Toad for
Supper” which was a mockery of how they made Igbos suffer so much during
the war that they fed on toads and lizards. He encouraged the Ikkwerres to deny
their Igboness and assisted Elechi Amadi to invent the corruption of Igbo names
by adding “r” and “y” to form jargons like Rumuokoro and
Oyibo instead of Umuokoro and Obigbo. This they said is Ikkwerre a distinct
language and tribe.

It is important to note that Ken Sarowiwa was not killed by
his co travelers for agitating for environmental rights. Environmental rights
was one of his pastimes which he used to extort money and exert influence on
government and oil companies. He was killed for the murder of five Ogoni
chiefs( Chief Fugbara, Kogbara Kobani et al) . These were men who were opposed
to his immoral and outlandish lifestyle and actually wanted a more responsible
engagement with government and oil companies. He labelled them vultures.

Masterminded and led a mob attack on these men and killed
the five of them in a single day. It was a murder trial and environmental
issues was not on the charge sheet. He was found guilty, convicted and hanged.
His friend and collaborator in arms, now Gen Sani Abacha was the Head of state.
It was not in vain that Ojukwu, (may his soul find peace), made effort to see
him at Port Harcourt prison before his execution. Of course all effort to save
him by the emasculated Igbos had failed. Emeka Anyaoku did his best. God bless
him. Ojukwu visited him and greeted him ” Good morning” in broad day
light. The Igbo spirit is a forgiving one, the day the Yoruba, Efik, Ibibio,
Rivers, Ijaw people will come to terms with the Igbo, that will be when Nigeria
will have everlasting peace.
