What happened
Colonel Dauda Komo served as Military Administrator of Rivers State (1993–1996) under Abacha and presided over the security apparatus that arrested, tried, and executed Ken Saro-Wiwa and the Ogoni Nine in 1995 — a human-rights stain widely condemned internationally. The corpus surfaces no credible financial-corruption allegation against him; the Ogoni Nine matter is a distinct human-rights subject that the 1000-reasons corruption corpus does not cover. Recommend `contextual` for the corruption archive; the Ogoni Nine story belongs in a separate human-rights index.
