Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka has opined that the war on corruption would not be won until Nigerian leaders are arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
Speaking at the opening of a four-day conference of heads of anti-corruption agencies from across Africa, the celebrated author also disclosed his experience at the EFCC building and what he thought about it.
He said: “I took the trouble yesterday to visit the headquarters of EFCC. I wanted to see what would be the mode of hospitality for some of our leaders who will surely, sooner or later, pass through the doors of that beautiful (EFCC) building not far from here,” he said.
“I am not a vengeful person, but I think that until we make sure that some of our leaders pass through those doors, this struggle against corruption in this country will not be won.”
The Nobel Prize winner has always been an advocate for anti-corruption and has been a member of several anti-corruption initiatives.
