Nobel laureate, Professor WOLE SOYINKA has described the arrest of activist, OMOYELE SOWORE by the Department of State Security (DSS) as a travesty and violation of the fundamental rights of citizens to congregate and make public their concerns.

Professor SOYINKA said the young politician never engaged in any treasonable act as being claimed by the Inspector General of Police, MOHAMMED ADAMU.

In a statement, titled: “Surely, Not Again!!!,” Professor SOYINKA said the deployment of alarmist expressions such as “treason”, “anarchist”, “public incitement” and so on by security forces had become so predictable and banal that they have become meaningless.
