The Clean Environmental Foundation (CEF) has called on President Bola Tinubu to grant state pardon to the late environmental activist, Ken Saro Wiwa, who was hanged in November 1995 by the military government.

The group also wants a national monument named after the late activist.

The executive director of CEF, Isaac Omomedia, also called on the president to also pay compensation to his family to further reduce the pain, misery and agony the Niger Delta people face due to the murder of the activist.

Ken Saro Wiwa was arrested in 1995 by the military regime of the late Gen Sani Abacha following the mass attack on four leading Ogoni leaders.

The military government blamed him for the killing but many see it as a plot by the government to nail its avowed enemy.

Ken Saro Wiwa had raised the banner of resistance against environmental injustice to the global level.

 

A tribunal was subsequently set up by the military which culminated in the death sentence passed on Saro Wiwa and eight other Ogoni leaders.

 

The trial drew global condemnation from leaders across the world including the then South African president, Nelson Mandela.

 

“We call on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to extend state pardon to Ken Saro Wiwa and eight others judicially murdered by the Nigerian State under Gen Sani Abacha. The president should declare Saro Wiwa a national hero after the state pardon granted him and eight others,” he stated.
