Soyinka who is the Regional Editor for West Africa at The Conversation Africa was reportedly detained at MMIA in Lagos around 5:40a.m. on Sunday, August 25, 2024, shortly after arriving in Nigeria on a Virgin Atlantic flight from the United Kingdom.

“The incident occurred around 5:40 a.m. on Sunday, August 25, 2024, shortly after he arrived in Nigeria via a Virgin Atlantic flight from the United Kingdom.
