Nigerians have expressed dismay over reports that the police has sealed off the venue of a symposium where Nobel laureate, Wole Soyinka, and other speakers were scheduled to speak on Nigeria’s security challenges.

The programme organised by Coalition for Revolution (CORE) – same group behind sowore’s revoluytion now -was billed to hold at 46, Ibijoke street, Oluyole bus-stop, Oregun, Lagos.

According TheCable, when the venue was visited on Monday, there was heavy presence of police personnel and vans.


A police officer reportedly told people to leave the venue immediately.

Reacting, Nigerians on twitter have expressed disappointment at the development, with Majority accusing the government of dictatorship.

So @MBuhari won’t even allow Wole Soyinka and Femi Falana to converge anywhere to speak about insecurity in the country? Is this not the same Prof Wole Soyinka that was abusing GEJ up and down? even called GEJ’s wife a SHEppopotamus? Una must learn

I have accepted the fact that we are in a semi military era, this is no democracy. My only happiness is the fact that the people who fed this tyrannic government into survival are reaping the seeds they sowed in 2014/2015.

This administration has been blinded completely with power that will not last beyond 4 years. Stepping and threading on whoever comes their ways with no sense of caution and no exceptions.

Its like a carnival, it will soon “ka” fade off their eyes.
