A photo has emerged showing the moment Nigeria's legendary writer and dramatist, Wole Soyinka was being escorted by a policeman after being arrested back in the day. This photo of Wole Soyinka being arrested by a Nigerian policeman when the literary legend was still a young man, has gone viral. Wole Soyinka can be seen calmly walking beside the policeman and the cop himself minds his business as he escorts the writer to where he was being taken to. It is a known fact that Wole Soyinka was a very outspoken critic of the government even in his hay days and was often arrested by the government. The photo has gotten social media users talking with many comparing the old days and the contemporary time.

This is when Nigeria Police behave normal and have some respect masses. Not today someone will accused of 1b Naria corruption in office and asked to bail himself with 2b Naria.
