New Customs Boss, Col Hamid Ali Was On Abacha Tribunal That Convicted Saro Wiwa by Nobody: 5:13pm On Jun 29, 2015 |
Col Hamidu Ali, Buhari's Right Hand man was on the military tribunal that sentenced Ogoni activist and poet Ken Saro Wiwa to death in 1996. In 2003 when Col Ali as the then Secretary General Of the Arewa Consultative Forum was asked if he had any regrets about his role in the execution, he said he had none. Echoes of the hanging of notable environmental activist and MOSOP leader Mr. Ken Saro Wiwa sounded again at the weekend. The Secretary General of the ACF Col. Ibrahim Hamid Ali (rtd) said he had no regrets over his role in the judicial process that led to Saro Wiwa’s execution. http://www.legaloil.com/NewsItem.asp?DocumentIDX=1058902890&Category=news Col. Hamid Ali (rtd), a member of the Abacha Kangaroo tribunal that sentenced the “Ogoni 9″ which included minority rights activist Ken Saro-Wiwa to death by hanging, was on Thursday named by President Muhammadu Buhari as the Comptroller-General of Nigeria Customs Service (NCS). Presidential spokesperson, Femi Adesina confirmed the appointment alongside the following: Babachir David Lawal – Secretary to the Government of the Federation Abba Kyari – Chief of Staff to the President Kure Martin Abeshi – Comptroller-General, Nigerian Immigration Service Senator Ita S.J. Enang – SSA to the President on National Assembly Matters (Senate) Hon. Suleiman A. Kawu – SSA to the President on National Assembly Matters (House of Representatives) The new Comptroller-General of Customs, Col. Ali was Kaduna’s military governor from 1996 to 1998 under the dictatorial regime of the late General Sani Abacha. When asked if he had any regret in the role he played in the heartless murder of Ken-Saro Wiwa and the “Ogoni 9″, Col Hamid Ali, who was the Secretary General of the Arewa Consultative Forum (ACF) said he had no regrets over his role in the process that led to Saro Wiwa’s execution. Col. Ali is a die-hard IBB boy who famously declared he would follow General Ibrahim Babangida to war blindfolded but they then fell out after Babangida annulled the June 12 1993 elections, with him telling his principal that he was wrong, pointing out that Abiola should be sworn-in as president even if he was the devil Ali was touted to be appointed as the next chairman of the Economic and Financial crimes Commission (EFCC). The Abacha regime set up the Tribunal after falsely accusing Saro-Wiwa and the “Ogoni 8″ of being responsible for the death of four Ogoni elders. After prolonged human rights abuse, torture and intimidation of Mr. Wiwa’s counsel by the Abacha regime, Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight Ogoni activists were sentenced to death by hanging. The Abacha regime swiftly ratified the Tribunal’s verdict and thereafter murdered Saro-Wiwa and the eight activists before the period allowed for an appeal had elapsed. This happened in defiance of calls by the international community, particularly groups like Amnesty International for their lives to be spared. http://www.opinionriver.com/member-of-ken-saro-wiwa-killer-tribunal-col-hamid-ali-appointed-as-nigerias-customs-boss/ Cc dear lalasticlala 2 Likes

The media in Nigeria is shameless, if it was even GEJ who made this appointment, they would all scream blue murder, a murderer is Bubu's right hand man. Even Tinubu who fought these demons in his NADECO Days is now sitting on the same table with them, we're back to the 80s/90s of Northern domination again 11 Likes |

SenseiX:Do u know your clueless fisherman, appointed justice Auta,the head of the tribunal that tried Wiwa, the chief judge of the high court as far back as in 2011,despite objections from the senate? Now run along before u are disgraced further. Besides all these,what even makes Saro-Wiwa innocent of d murder of fellow ogoni chiefs for which he was convicted?I guess because he wrote a book and was an environmental activist made him a law unto himself that could decree who could live or die in Ogoniland! 3 Likes 1 Share |

doctokwus:Since when did GEJ become the standard for Buhari, I thought you rancid dolts said he was clueless. GEJ appointed Justice Auta as the Chief Judge on the recommendation of the NJC, Buhari instead appoints his right hand man who incidentally was a tool of Nigeria's worst dictator and you shamelessly defend him, How callous can you be...... You then go along to justify Ken Saro Wiwa's execution, sure why don't you go ahead and beautify Abacha already. Little wonder your illiterate master says Abacha never stole a dime, Bunch of cretins ruled by an idio.t. 13 Likes |

Sentiments aside, Saro-Wiwa was guilty of murdering the four Ogoni chiefs. We all seem to forget that there were victims of Saro-Wiwa's actions that cried out for justice. He tried to do the right thing,but,wrongly. 2 Likes |
