Dr. Olaokun Soyinka, has debunked the report in the video purporting that the Abeokuta residence of his father, Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, was attacked on Tuesday.
The denial is contained in a statement issued on Wednesday.
The younger Soyinka said while it was true that cows did stray onto his land, there was no attack or attempt to enter his father’s residence.
The statement reads in full:
“Please send this information back down the chain and also if you know this Koiki Media who took the videos. Spreading such disinformation is dangerous.
“To repeat, I have confirmed that while cows did stray onto his land yesterday, there has been no attack, no violence and no attempt to enter the house.
“Kindly debunk this information where you can.
“We do not need confusion added to the already tense situation in the country.
“(Dr Olaokun Soyinka, Weds Feb 10).”
