Nobel laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka, on Tuesday announced that the United States of America has revoked his visa, making his entry into the country impossible for now.

Soyinka disclosed this during a media parley held at Kongi’s Harvest Gallery, Freedom Park, Lagos Island, saying he was unaware of any wrongdoing that could have warranted the revocation.

“It is necessary for me to hold this conference so that people in the United States who are expecting me for this event or that event do not waste their time.

“I have no visa; I am banned, obviously, from the United States. And if you want to see me, you know where to find me,” he told journalists.
