Soyinka alerts public over false text messages

Posted by 9jabook.com on March 22, 2011 at 10:26am
NOBEL Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, has distanced himself from some political messages being circulated via short messaging service (SMS), which created the impression that they originated from him. advertisement In a statement yesterday, Soyinka wrote: "It has been brought to my notice that certain text messages of a political nature are being sent out over my name. I have actually seen one of them. I wish to alert the public that these messages are fraudulent and did not emanate from me. "I have sent no text or e-mail messages whatsoever to any individual or circulation list, and have no plans to do so. "To the best of my knowledge, forgery in any circumstances remains a criminal act even in Nigeria. I therefore draw the attention of the police to this unsavoury development on the rapidly degenerating political scene and call for prompt action before it becomes rampant."
