Nobel Laureate, Professor Wole Soyinka has reacted to the death of his fellow literary compatriot, Professor Chinua Achebe in a hospital in Boston – Massachusetts, saying, ‘”I’m, just devastated.”
Soyinka, who made the comment on Cool FM, a private radio station based in Lagos, said: “I’m just devastated. I only heard about half an hour ago and I don’t want to say anything yet. I’m just devastated.”
