Prof. Wole Soynka

The nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka at a forum in Freedom Park has revealed that some suspected herdsmen recently invaded his residence in Ogun State.
The Cable.ng quoted Soyinka as saying “We are living in dangerous times. My home is under invasion… From Imeko to Abeokuta is under invasion by herdsmen,”

“This is a deliberate act of provocation. The trespasses have been frequent, we have reported to the police, but government is taking security lightly. We need to wake up the government, let them know the seriousness of the issue on ground; these herdsmen are worse than Boko Haram.”

Soyinka advised the government to use drones in tracking the herdsmen adding that their mentality has changed.

He also opposed the establishment of grazing reserves, saying that would worsen the problem.

“Creating corridor for cattle grazing will compound the problem, I do not think that is the solution,” he said.
