Mr Saro-Wiwa, alongside eight of his kinsmen, was executed by Sani Abacha-led military regime on November 10, 1995.
Norwegian Ambassador to Nigeria, Jens-Petter Kjemprud, during a stop-over vist to late Ken Saro-Wiwa's home in Port Harcourt. The Norwegian Ambassador to Nigeria, Jens-Petter Kjemprud, Saturday, made a stop-over visit to the Port Harcourt home of the late environmental activist and Ogoni leader, Ken Saro-Wiwa.
The ambassador was in Rivers State to view the ongoing Ogoni cleanup operation by the Nigerian government. Mr Owen-Wiwa, who ushered his visitors to the door for them to step out, stayed behind the office. He placed his two palms upon his late brother’s table, lowered his head down for some minutes and began sobbed quietly, a member of the delegation told PREMIUM TIMES.
“Walking into an office I have never been to before and Dr Owen-Wiwa, his younger brother, leading us and the ambassador to the desk, said ‘this is where he used to sit’. He said ‘that chair you see over there is his chair, this is his table. All that you see on the table are his personal effects.” He said out of these three, it is only the environmental issues that is about to be addressed, but that even the Ogoni cleanup is poorly handled.
