OLUSEGUN OLORUNTOBA pleads for reparation and restoration of dignity of victimised officers
We find great delight that you and several other democracy fighters in the mould of June 12, 1993, struggles are still alive, hale and hearty today. We hold you in high esteem as a dogged democrat and generous giver. Your unwavered conviction for the dignity of those who side with truth is well-documented. It is against this backdrop that we extend our warm regards and hope this letter finds you in good health.
Another June 12 celebration is around the corner. Almost every box of that epic moment in the annals of Nigeria’s history has been ticked. We firmly believe that you will tick the remaining boxes on June 12, 2026. It has been 30 awful and agonising years for us. In our last open letter to you, dated June 10, 2025, we made humble appeals. As in that letter, we are making the same urgent request again. We can’t stop believing you will make it happen.
We, the victims of the alleged coups of 1995 and 1997, write to you with a mix of trepidation and hope. For over 30 years, we have waited for justice, our hopes raised and dashed with each change of administration. With you is our renewed hope.
