Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka has advocated the prosecution of Turai, wife of President Umaru Yar’Adua, for what he described as kidnapping, false imprisonment and abuse of spouse thereby desecrating the sanctity of Nigeria’s presidency. He spoke on Monday in Ikeja, Lagos, while addressing a group of over 1,000 women under the aegis of Women Arise, a non-governmental organisation that staged a peaceful protest in Lagos to condemn the continued keeping away of Yar’Adua from Nigerians by his wife, two weeks after he was said to have returned to the country.
“For me, this is sacrilege, acute sacrilege and I think we should begin criminal proceeding against Turai for kidnapping and false imprisonment of her husband. If it were in a civilised society, this woman should be in court by now for kidnapping and false imprisonment. Far even worst than abusing her spouse, she is also abusing a nation, abusing and insulting the intelligence of a nation.”
