I checked and it works like a charm. Here is the PL/SQL block that I ran:
11:00:47 SQL> select sid,serial# from v$session where username='SCOTT';

       SID SERIAL#
---------- ----------

        10 535

Elapsed: 00:00:00.50
11:01:10 SQL> ed 1

11:01:32 SQL> /        SID SERIAL#
---------- ----------

        10 535

Elapsed: 00:00:00.60

11:01:34 SQL> @1
11:01:39 SQL> declare
11:01:39   2  kill varchar2(2000) := 'alter system kill session ''10,535''';
11:01:39   3  begin
11:01:39   4  execute immediate kill;
11:01:39   5  end;
11:01:39   6  /

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Are you sure that "execute immediate" doesn't support "alter system" command? Maybe it's a bug? Which version, which OS?

Hi All,

Further to that, it is necessary to use DBMS_SQL or native dynamic SQL for this
as PL/SQL does not support ALTER SYSTEM directly.

Create a procedure as SYS (or someone else powerful) which does the 'alter system' and then grant just the proc to the user
