Soyinka visits Igboho in Benin Republic

Nobel laureate Professor Wole Soyinka has visited Yoruba nation agitator Chief Sunday Adeyemo aka Sunday Igboho in Cotonou, Benin Republic.

The literary giant was seen at the Seme border around noon on Sunday, crossing to Cotonou, the capital city of Benin Republic.

According to a statement, Soyinaka was mobbed by a crowd while waiting to complete immigration formalities and repeatedly asked where he was headed.

His response was that he was on a visit to Igboho to “break the Moslem fast with him.”

When reminded that neither he nor Ighoho was a muslim, he asserted that it made no difference.

He said he had wished to see Igboho to sympathise with his predicament.

Ramadan, he said, is as good as any other season to express non-denominational solidarity.
