Shehu Sani Reacts To Allegations Of Fake Academic Records Against Soyinka

Former Kaduna Central lawmaker, Senator Shehu Sani, has condemned the allegations of fraudulent academic records against Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka.

Recall that Soyinka had called on those accusing him of fraudulent academic records to submit all evidence to the various anti-graft agencies and the Directorate of Prosecutions within 30 days for probe.

Soyinka stated this in a statement titled: “A Moral Call to Amoral Conscripts” on Friday after an online publication (not CityNews Nigeria) disputed his academic records.

The playwright said he would voluntarily waive all protection under the statute of limitations, and insisted that the laws that govern fraudulent academic records be invoked and applied to these allegations against him to the uttermost limit.

Soyinka declared in advance that, if found culpable, he would strip himself of any titles and honours he might have garnered in his entire career, from the most obscure to the most coveted.

The Nobel Laureate asserted that if such allegations are yet again proven baseless, all his accusers should prepare to jump off the bridge of the symbolic River Niger.

Reacting in a post on his verified X handle on Saturday, Senator Sani said the campaign of mudslinging against Soyinka is condemnable and should stop immediately.

Sani said those peddling unsubstantiated allegations against the playwright should respond to his challenge with evidence or nip their mischief.

He wrote: “The campaign of mudslinging against Professor Soyinka is condemnable. Those peddling unsubstantiated allegations against him should respond to his challenge with evidence or nip their mischief.
