Nigerian President Bola Tinubu has posthumously pardoned Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other members of the Ogoni Nine, environmental activists who were executed in 1995 under the military regime of General Sani Abacha. The Ogoni Nine were convicted of murder and subsequently hanged, a move widely condemned internationally and linked to their protests against oil companies operating in the Niger Delta. The pardon, granted 30 years after their execution, has been welcomed by the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People but criticized by Amnesty International and other activists. Amnesty International stated that the pardon falls short of the justice needed and called for the Nigerian government to formally recognize the innocence of the Ogoni Nine and fully exonerate them. The family of Ken Saro-Wiwa has also urged the government to review the trial that led to the executions. The pardon has drawn mixed reactions, including rejection from some ethnic groups and activists who argue that the individuals committed no crime. The posthumous national honours serve as a reminder of the sacrifices made by these activists in their fight against environmental degradation and injustice.
