Dauda Musa Komo, a former Military Administrator of Rivers State, has died in Port Harcourt, Rivers State. He reportedly collapsed while attending a public function and was pronounced dead at the scene.
Komo served as the military administrator of Rivers State between 1993 and 1994, a period widely criticized for its repressive handling of civil dissent, particularly in the Ogoni region. His administration has long been linked to the events leading up to the 1995 execution of renowned environmental activist Ken Saro-Wiwa and eight other Ogoni leaders, an episode that drew international condemnation and remains one of Nigeria’s most controversial human rights episodes.
Details surrounding his death are still sketchy.
