REMEMBERING OGONI 9 HERO
DR. BARINEM NUBARI KIOBEL
By John Donovan
This year is the sad Silver Jubilee of a landmark human rights atrocity.
Today is the 25th anniversary of the death of Dr Barinem Nubari Kiobel who is lovingly remembered every year by his widow Esther Kiobel.
Dr Kiobel was a member of the “Ogoni 9” (which included Ken Saro-Wiwa), all innocent people executed in Nigeria on November 10, 1995, by the murderous Abacha military regime. The regime was closely associated with and actively supported by Shell.
The oil giant even supplied weapons used to repress and kill peaceful Ogoni activists rightfully protesting against Shell’s plunder and nightmarish pollution of their beloved homeland.
Shell was also responsible for spying activity directed against the associates of Ken Saro-Wiwa by a spy firm (Hakluyt & Company) in which titled Shell directors Sir Peter Holmes and Sir Willaim Purves were major shareholders and the ultimate spymasters.

The event of November 10, 1995 is permanently stamped (like a tribal mark) on the heart of every individual who have their ancestry traceable to the Province of Ogoniland.
Dr. Barinem Kiobel (like the other 8), you paid the supreme price, you paid with your blood for a better Ogoniland, you and others are always on our mind.
Continue to rest in perfect peace.
