However, in an update, Soyinka’s friend informed our correspondent that he had been released by the DSS, who held him in their Ikoyi office. The DSS seized Soyinka’s passport before releasing him.

The DSS spokesperson, Peter Afunanya, initially claimed he was not aware of Soyinka’s arrest, stating, “I am not aware of the matter you have raised and have no comments on it.”
