Shehu Sani, a former Senator, has shared his experiences from his time in prison during military rule
In a video shared by TVC on YouTube, Sani narrated that he was sentenced to life imprisonment, but his life sentence was later reduced to 15 years. He said northern prisoners were transferred to southern prisons, and vice versa for southern prisoners.
Sani said he was transferred to the prison in Port Harcourt, Rivers State where he witnessed the execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa. He said while in Port Harcourt prison, he managed to communicate with the public through a letter and he was later relocated to Aba prison in Abia State.
In Sani's words: "I was in Port Harcourt prison when Saro-Wiwa was hanged, I saw them from the window. While I was in Port Harcourt prison, I wrote a letter to Nigerians and it was published. I was then moved to Aba prison in Abia State"
