Nigerian Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka has claimed that the United States has revoked his visa, a move he believes is connected to his criticism of President Donald Trump's immigration policies. Soyinka, a renowned playwright and essayist, is a vocal critic of Trump's restrictive stance on immigration, particularly his travel ban on several Muslim-majority countries. The 91-year-old literary icon stated that he was informed of the visa revocation during a recent trip to the US embassy in Lagos, Nigeria. While the US Embassy has not provided an official explanation for the decision, Soyinka suspects it is retaliation for his outspoken opposition to Trump's policies. He has vowed to continue speaking out against what he perceives as "discriminatory" and "inhumane" immigration measures implemented by the current US administration. The revocation of Soyinka's visa has sparked concerns about the potential implications for freedom of expression and the right to dissent, particularly for prominent international figures who are critical of the US government's policies.
