The Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People has called on the families of slain Ogoni leaders to embrace total peace and reconciliation.
MOSOP said that although the wounds created by the tragic killing of four Ogoni chiefs in 1994 and the hanging of Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight of his kinsmen in 1995 are yet to heal, the Ogoni people should draw lessons from the losses.
MOSOP President, Olu Andah Wai-Ogosu, stated this on Thursday at a news briefing marking the 32nd anniversary of the killing of the Ogoni four in Giokoo community in Gokana Local Government Area of Rivers State.
Wai-Ogosu said, “This press briefing is commemorative of a tragic and pensive event that occurred in Ogoni precisely on the 21st of May 1994, in which Ogoni lost four of its most legendary and celebrated leaders, leading to a twist of fate that is yet to abate in Ogoni land.
