Nobel laureate and renowned writer, Professor Wole Soyinka has raised an alarm over the issue of stolen identity, noting that he has been a victim of recent.

The alarm from the Nobel Laureate came barely a week after President Muhammadu Buhari cleared the dust surrounding his identity when he was addressing Nigerians in Poland.

It was gathered that Soyinka, addressing a cross section of audience at Freedom Park in an event marking the 70th anniversary of human rights and worldwide reading for press freedom in memory of Jamal Khashoggi, stressed on the need to take the issue of stolen identity with seriousness.

He said: “Recently, we have a situation in Nigeria and that is the issue of cloning President Muhammadu Buhari. We have people who have taken that issue seriously. These were people that one can never believe to accept such considering their level of intelligence.

“When Buhari went to Poland, I said what a coincidence because I hope while he was there, he will be able to sort-out his identity and there will be a report on the return of his identity.
“Poland appears to be the centre for Nigerians settlers with stolen identity.”

Soyinka said upon discovery that his identity was being used in Poland, he visited the country and demanded that the page using his identity on Facebook be pulled down.
He said: “But he (operator of the business) refused, claiming that he has authority to do that. In my name, this fellow sells and buys things which I don’t even use.”

Speaking on press freedom, the Nobel Laureate noted that the right has been abused with the emergence of social media. He, however, said that the freedom to press and expression should not be taken with levity and should be guaranteed.

He said: “If we must fight for freedom of expression, we must fight for the correct attribution of expression.

“If the doctrine of freedom of expression was to be reversed, there will be certainly a number of issues to be addressed because expression on social media has taken a quantum leave in the last few years that cannot be imagined.”

Hmmm! And Buhari went to the centre for stolen identity to proclaim: "See I'm the real Buhari"
I'm beginning to believe we have an impostor at Aso villa.

This has been reenacted by prof boroface, Dr ngege, now prof soyinka (who is even a pmb critic) and every erudite in society

This beer parlour talk is always propagated by beer parlour gossips, or illiterate pigs who have vowed that bitterness and hate would not allow them rest until buhari degnifies them with response by rubbing in their iPod mud.

Then you ask, if iPods aren't doing PDP campaign for them what else would inspire such pettitness which PDP spokesmen like reno don't even believe in

i dont see any big deal in this, buhari should just remove his cap and this matter will be settled once and for all

I have come to discover that this iPod weed inspired conspiracy theory is all in a bid to get buhari to rub "mud water" with them.

They all need pmb response to really masturbate on and gain relevance (if he gives them the benefit of a doubt they would keep giving a president more weed inspired tasks to satisfy their bitterness).

Every sane person should ignore them, we have agreed with you that pmb is duplicated, can you guys leave him and vote the atiku that isn't photocopied

Just tell him to remove his hat.

If you are going to call people illiterates, at least learn how to spell illiterate first.

How vain can you get? Buhari should remove his cap to satisfy your whims and primitive urges.

I am sure you people are happier with your jubrin narrative, enjoy it, live and wallow in your sentiment induced euphoria.

Igbos are dead brain .
Igbos are useless bastards and terrorists.
Sai baba . Next level too sure

Nigeria is a failed country, if not why can’t the president address the nation live on national tv or address the press. I am beginning to believe the Jubril story, if not why would they shut Aisha up by giving her an appointment, things are not adding up.
