Herdsmen invade Soyinka’s residence

Suspected herdsmen have invaded the residence of Wole Soyinka, renowned playwright and professor, in Ogun state.


The scholar disclosed this on Friday while speaking at a forum in Freedom Park, Lagos.

“My home is under invasion… From Imeko to Abeokuta is under invasion by herdsmen,” he said.

“The trespasses have been frequent and reported but government is taking security lightly.”

Soyinka, who said the mentality of herdsmen had changed, advised government to use drones in tracking them.

In April 2016, Soyinka had raised the alarm over the invasion of his residence at a time when he was abroad.
