Soyinka faults heavy security around Tinubu’s son, says it’s enough to quell insurrection in Benin Republic
Wole Soyinka, Nobel laureate, has criticised what he described as the excessive deployment of security personnel around the family of President Bola Tinubu, saying it reflects poorly on Nigeria’s priorities and security architecture.
Speaking at the 20th Wole Soyinka Centre for Investigative Journalism (WSCIJ) Awards held in Lagos on Tuesday, Soyinka said he recently witnessed a disturbing level of armed protection attached to the president’s son while at a hotel in the Ikoyi area of Lagos.
