Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka has called on the federal government to swiftly investigate allegations of maltreatment of Biafra supporters in the South-eastern part of the country by soldiers.
Soyinka said this on Wednesday in Ibadan, Oyo State, at the Christopher Okigbo Conference, tagged: “Legacy of Christopher Okigbo-50 years”.
Orizon News gathered that the event was organized to mark the golden jubilee of the exit of Okigbo.
He said: “There is a video clip going viral showing allegedly the dehumanisation of Biafran supporters in the East. It shows some civilians being made to run a gantlet of whips and then being made to crawl, being lined up in a pond of mud… I do not say this video is genuine. It could be IPOB propaganda, it is possible but I am saying to the military that you can’t afford to stay silent when that kind of documented allegation is making the round of the world.
