Furthermore, Soyinka characterized the government&#8217;s actions as tantamount to kidnapping.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a mistake keeping Nnamdi Kanu in prison, I believe. In fact, they kidnapped him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He continued, \u201cHis language was inciteful, yes, no question about that. But you don\u2019t arrest, you don\u2019t kidnap people. Buhari had an obsession with kidnapping people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat seemed to be his trademark. It is like he couldn\u2019t fulfil himself unless he\u2019s put somebody in a crate and brought them back.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that politically speaking, if they have any real charges against him, well, since he is in their hands, they should try him. All these technical postponements, delays, and avoiding the basic issues, for me, is counter-productive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prof Wole Soyinka also said the only problem he had with the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, was his language, which he described as disrespectful and inciteful.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cHe is one of the younger generations who inherited a burden of defeat, of resentment and a determination in their view, not to make the mistakes of their predecessors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have a new will, they have a new understanding of history. The only problem I had with it was the language Nnamdi Kanu used over Radio Biafra. I listened to some of it, very incendiary and also disrespectful, I thought, of even his own people. I don\u2019t want to go into details but all you have to do is listen to it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI used a certain expression in recent contributions, those of us who stood on that side, we fought for a Biafra of conscience and for me, that is very critical.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople like Nnamdi Kanu should not, IPOB or MASSOB (Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra) for that matter, should not act against what I call the core of our humanity, which is one of conscience.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prof Wole Soyinka also said the only problem he had with the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu, was his language, which he described as disrespectful and inciteful Nobel Laureate Prof. Wole Soyinka has criticized the Nigerian government for imprisoning Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
