The Ogoni Case is a Simple Demand for Basic Rights and Justice – MOSOP
Call for the Exoneration of Ken Saro-Wiwa and Others
The Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People (MOSOP) says all the Ogoni people want in Nigeria is respect for the rights of the people and justice. President of MOSOP, Fegalo Nsuke made this known yesterday in Port Harcourt in a speech to mark the 24th anniversary of the U.N Secretary General’s fact-finding mission to Ogoni which noted that the Special Tribunal which ordered the murder of Ken Saro-Wiwa had no jurisdiction to try Saro-Wiwa and the others.
Nsuke said it was shameful that Nigeria’s response to a simple and justifiable demand for basic rights and justice by the Ogoni people in Nigeria was repression by state security forces and the hounding by Shell through its agents which led to the death of thousands of innocent Ogonis.
The MOSOP leader said the exoneration of the “Ogoni 9” murdered by the Nigerian government on November 10, 1995, has become a critical part of the Ogoni demands and will not be compromised.
He emphasized the need to end to the discrimination against the Ogoni people in Nigeria and the exoneration of the nine Ogoni activists murdered by the Nigerian government on November 10, 1995.
The MOSOP president also called for an end to the constant harassment of civil rights activists in Ogoni, the brutality and rape of Ogoni women by Nigerian soldiers and the repression of locals who express their displeasure over the pollution and deprivations in Ogoni.
