This Day (Lagos)
15 June 2009
Last week, relatives and supporters of Ken Saro-Wiwa, the Ogoni activist and writer, secured a historic $15.5 million settlement from Shell, the international oil company they have persistently blamed for Ken's November l995 execution.

This is not the first time that Donu Korgbara has openly expressed her hatred for the Ogoni struggle and Ken Saro Wiwa. She started it even before these four men were murdered by the state; therefore, I am not surprise. Even without legal confrontation from the 13 families, the government of Nigeria has shown its regret for the role it plays in the killing of these individuals with appointments and cash to these families.
Therefore, Donu Korgbara is a great liar who was not even there in Nigeria to witness first hand, the brutality Ogoni people went through in the hands of the Nigerian government/Shell. She did not even care to find out from those security operatives that were sent to Ogoni to ensure the murder of these four individuals in order to kill Ken Saro Wiwa and eventually destroy the entire Ogoni struggle. All the memo from Shell, confession from those who were paid to lie against Ken who defected, interviews from Paul Okuntimo etc meant nothing to her as long as she is been paid to do her dirty job. Currently she has been offered an appointment by the River State government, maybe on Shell’s recommendation.
