At a press conference today,
renowned playwright and Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka,
has announced that he was
diagnosed of cancer last December.
Speaking at the June 12 Cultural
Center in Ogun State, "Kongi"
encouraged awareness and
preventative measures in stopping
the spread of the disease. He
attributes early detection and proper nutrition to his stable health so far. Soyinka said that initially he felt the
cancer was “an unwanted squatter in
his body." He later resolved that he
"had to get rid of it whether it is a
slow growing one or malignant.” While not hinting at the kind or
extent of cancer he has, Soyinka's
son, Dr. Olaokun Soyinka,
Commissioner for Health in Ogun
State, told The Nation his father was
treated for “prostate cancer.”
