You won't believe there was a time in Nigeria when security officials 'humbly' arrest individuals.Pictured above is Prof. Wole Soyinka being arrested by a police officer in the good old days.

that's how police still arrest well known Nigerians today so don't use Soyinka case as a yardstick on the method of Nigerian police then.if you are nobody in the 60's or a radical Naija police will beat you before you reach station sef,listen to fela songs.

Gazing from the pic, I don't think he looks arrested.

See the way he's walking majestically with hands on his pocket
