Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, says it is not criminal or illegal for anyone to express intention to leave any federation. Soyinka, who spoke during an interview with BBC News Pidgin on Monday monitored by The PUNCH, urged the government to apologise to Igboho. Though Igboho had escaped the raid, his house and cars were riddled with bullets while bloodstains splattered over the floors of the house. The secret police had since declared Igboho wanted. “My advice to the government is that they should stop pursuing Igboho as a criminal because you have begun by acting in a criminal fashion against him,” he stated.
