On October 19, 1995, the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ) held a memorial to commemorate the death of Dele Giwa, the editor-in-chief of Newswatch magazine, who was brutally killed by security agents nine years prior. The event was held in Lagos and challenged law enforcement agents to arrest the killers of Dele Giwa and allow his gruesome death to be laid to rest. Additionally, General Olusegun Obasanjo, a former Nigerian Head of State and one of the convicts of the celebrated coup trial, revealed that the interrogation of the convicts were carried out under "satanic deceit and great torture, almost to the point of death" in some cases.
