Nigeria: Soyinka Flays FG, Security Agencies

Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, yesterday blamed the Federal Government and security agencies in the country for the Sunday killings in Plateau State, saying the Inspector General of Police and other security operatives were asleep while gun men unleashed mayhem on the people.

"They should be held responsible. Worst still, the legislators, instead of doing what is expected of them, are busy collecting 'Ghana Must Go'. Women should rise up because they were the major victims in the crisis," he said.
