BBOG protesters not a security threat, Soyinka replies IG

Nobel laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, on Thursday, warned against the use of force against the #BringBackOurGirls campaigners, saying that the group should
be given their space to protest.

He also noted that protests by the group could not be too much as long as the Chibok girls remained Boko Haram captives.

Soyinka said this at a symposium to start the 20th anniversary programme of Halifield Schools, Maryland, Lagos.
The social commentator, who delivered the keynote address, added that  peaceful demonstration was a democratic right which could not constitute threats
to national security and public order.
