Soyinka, who spoke during an interview with BBC News Pidgin yesterday, urged the Federal Government to apologise to Igboho. On Igboho, he said: “More important for me is the position of the government saying that the ‘existence of weapons’ proved that he (Igboho) was planning war against the state. x“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. “If and when Igboho comes to trial, I guarantee you the government will be very embarrassed.
