Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, has warned that the manner leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was arrested could cause uproar in the country if it becomes known.
Speaking to BBC Pidgin, the Nobel laureate, added that: “It’s not for me to tell the president to prepare itself because it’s going to be a huge squawk when the truth about how Kanu was arrested comes out.
“People are alleging this or that. That is one phase whether Nigeria has acted outside international law,” Soyinka said.
He added: “The second issue, however, has to do with Kanu’s conduct outside the nation. There’s been a level of hate rhetoric which has been unfortunate, from Kanu. Hate rhetoric is an issue that can only be judged by the laws of any nation.
“Was it right ‘to have been kidnapped?’ You can say intercepted as much as you want but I think Kanu was kidnapped. That is wrong internationally and morally.”
