Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, has said that it was wrong to leave the Miyetti Allah un-proscribed while the Indigenous People of Biafra remains outlawed.
According to him, the cattle rearers’ association has been speaking in support of violence while also distorting history.
In an interview on ‘Channels Television’, he said there was no justification for leaving unsanctioned any group that distorts history in favour of violence.
Also, Soyinka lamented the spreading insecurity in the land, saying the insurgents had the agenda of displacing people from their own portions of nationhood.
The Miyetti Allah has been vocal on political matters, with its secretary, days ago, speaking against the candidature of the Labour Party’s presidential candidate, Peter Obi.
It said his followers were IPOB supporters.
