The correct answer is D. Nigeria

Step-by-step explanation:

From 1993 to 1998, Nigeria was under the rule of Sani Abacha a military leader and dictator. During this time there were multiple abuses and assassinations led by the government and Abacha. This included the execution of nine critics that opposed the government. One of these was Ken Saro-Wiwa who opposed oil extraction in a region in Nigeria known as Onogiland and criticized the actions of the government. Due to this, Abacha and its government condemned him to the death penalty and in 1995 he was executed by hanging.
