Prof. Wole Soyinka, Nobel laureate, has called on the Nigerian government to release pro-democracy activist Omoyele Sowore and save the country from further global embarrassment.
The unlawful arrest and detention of Sowore, who is also the publisher of SaharaReporters, have been greeted with public outcry, both locally and publicly, condemning the actions.
A recent publication by the Washington Post accused Buhari of presiding over a democratic Nigeria like a military regime where citizens' freedom is minimal.
Soyinka, in a statement on Wednesday, condemned the use of live bullets to disperse protesters calling for the release of Sowore.
