It later blamed the entire saga on a possible mistaken identity.<\/p>\n<p>Reacting to the latest development Saturday morning, the President of the Nigerian chapter of the International Press (IPI Nigeria), Musikilu Mojeed, said his organisation was shocked that the SSS could violate the rights of a law-abiding citizen the way it has done.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIPI Nigeria will consult with Mr Soyinka to decide how to respond to this unbelievable demonstration of incompetence by operatives of a key intelligence agency,\u201d Mr Mojeed said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere must be accountability in this matter. All those involved in the unfortunate saga must answer for their roles. A good starting point is for the SSS to issue a formal apology to Mr Soyinka for the inconveniences and psychological anguish caused him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, we will like a commitment from the agency that it will henceforth desist from exhibiting this kind of reckless, undemocratic and unprofessional behaviour towards law abiding citizens.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Soyinka was arrested at the Murtala Muhammed International airport, shortly after arriving on a Virgin Atlantic flight from London, UK on Sunday, 25 August He was\u00a0subsequently held and interrogated for about 8 hours at both the DSS airport command and the agency\u2019s Ikoyi office.
