Ogoni rights activist, who was executed by the Abacha’s government in
connection with the Ogoni crises of the 1990’s. He was the Deputy
Commandant at the Armed Forces Resettlement Centre, Oshodi, before his
arrest.

officer, who is at the moment being detained at one of the major
military barracks in Abuja, might have been arrested because of the
sensitive positions he held.

General Owoye Azazi when he served as Chief of Defence Staff. He was
Principal Staff Officer, PGSO, at the office of the National Security
Adviser when Azazi served as NSA.
