MOSOP wishes to note that although Taagalo Monsi (10), Ngbass Baovi (19) and Baribuma Kumannwe (18) were arrested in the last week of October and first arraigned in a magistrate's court on Friday, Octoboer, 27 1995, their names are curiously contained in a charge dated 18/9/95. Again. while Michael Dogara was arrested, arraigned and detained with them (27/11/95) he is not on the charge list because they found out he comes from Bodo, thenative town of late Chief Edward Kobani.
MOSOP also wished to draw attention to the fact that Mr Adam Kaa had actually been in detention in the bori camp cal since March 1995 for some other matter before the May 21, 1995 suspects were brought in there but was erroneosly taken to the BIIB cell where he was surprisingly "identified" by Alhaji Kobani during an identification parade there. These errors were pointed to Major Paul Okuntimo who ignored the plea.
The witch hunting of Saro-Wiwas MOSOP members, youths, chiefs and elders alike have been itensified in the bid to leave no trace of activism in Ogoni.
MOSOP calls on all men of goodwill at home and abroad to put pressure on government to disband the military tribunal which has now been left in place specifically for the Ogonis. You must act to prevent further judicial murders in Ogoni.
