Soyinka spoke in Lagos
today at an event held at the Muson Centre in Lagos.
Nobel Laureate Professor
Wole Soyinka has described the formation of the Western Nigeria Security
Network, with the code name of ‘Amotekun’ as a pleasant New Year Gift.
He declared support for the
supplementary security outfit launched in Ibadan last week, saying its
emergence signified that the yearnings of Nigerians prevailed.
The event tagged ‘Never
Again’, was organised to discuss the way forward, 50 years after the Nigerian
civil war. In attendance at the event were some 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.
Each of the six states in
the South West donated 20 patrol vans each and also motorbikes to start the
security outfit, with headquarters in Gbongan, Osun State
