Dr Olaokun Soyinka, one of the children of the Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka on Wednesday debunked rumour on social media about the alleged attack on his father by Fulani herdsmen.
The young Soyinka said in a statement he circulated on social media that the story was not true.
It would be recalled that some social media platforms published a story that; “Prof Wole Soyinka’s house was attacked last night by Fulani hoodlums and miscreants to assassinate him because of his numerous truth to power and particularly, because of his recent news Interview where he spoke truth to the Presidency especially advising Buhari to come out openly and denounce the Fulani herdsmen bastdardly acts of violence in the Southern parts of Nigeria”.

Controversy yesterday trailed Tuesdayâs alleged grazing of cattle by a herdsman at the Abeokuta home of Noble Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka.
While the Ogun State Police Command has said that missing cattle strayed into Soyinkaâs compound, a close associate of the laureate and a former Minister of State for Defence, Dr. Olu Agunloye, said the herdsmen led their cattle to graze in the compound because they thought that Soyinka was not at home.
However, the South and Middle Belt Leaders Forum (SMBLF) has condemned the reported herdersâ scare at Soyinkaâs home.
