Soyinka drums support for Southwest ‘Amotekun security outfit’

Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka on Monday declared his support for the Western Nigeria Security Network, codenamed ‘Amotekun’.

Professor Soyinka also described the security outfit as a pleasant New Year gift, stressing that it has shown that the yearnings of Nigerians prevailed.

He stated this while addressing some elder statesmen and prominent Nigerians at an event held at the Muson Centre in Lagos.

The event tagged ‘Never Again’, was organised to discuss the way forward, 50 years after the Nigerian civil war.

It was also aimed at reminiscing on the woes of the war which ended in January 1970 and adjudged as one of the worst scenarios of civil rife across the world.

It was well attended by a number of eminent Nigerians such as Professor Anya Anya, Professor Banji Akintoye, Professor Pat Utomi, Major General Obi Umahi (rtd), and the Senate Minority Leader, Senator Enyinnaya Abaribe, among others.
