He noted that the book revealed many secret about the betrayal of Ogoni land and how Ken Saro Wiwa was murdered, the role played by his betrayers and how money exchanged hands and many more.
Akpobari said: “We are holding a special memorial lecture of Late Ken in Lagos and also to present of a book titled: The 3-Demension of the Ogoni Revolution and unanswered questions. It is time to speak the truth of Ogoni environment and the people.
“We are not afraid of the murderers, whose names were mentioned on the book, but the major thing is to let Nigerians and the world knows that our environment has been sentenced to death including the people and the air.
Akpobari added that the choice of the venue in Lagos was due to the importance of the environment to late Saro Wiwa. “Ken launched almost all his books in the venue while alive. Of course, General Gowon who will chair the occasion is familiar with the struggle of Ogoni people.”
