Brymo drags Soyinka, Gani Adams over Nigerian varsities secret cults

Nigerian singer Brymo has taken to social media to call out Nobel laureate Professor Wole Soyinka, former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, and Gani Adams for their roles in the history of secret cults in Nigerian universities.

Brymo, in a series of social media posts, expressed grievances over what he alleged were the roles of the three prominent figures in the history and development of secret societies in higher institutions.

He wrote, “I will not forgive how Wole, Olusegun, and Gani Adams killed our boys,” although his statement did not, by itself, establish direct responsibility for any deaths.

The singer specifically challenged Soyinka to explain the origins and objectives of secret societies in Nigerian universities and address concerns about their alleged consequences for students.

He also referenced late Afrobeat musician Fela Kuti, contrasting what he described as Fela’s efforts to protect young people with his criticisms of Soyinka.

In another post, Brymo described Soyinka as “a very violent man” and called for an exclusive interview with the Nobel laureate to discuss the issue. He said he would keep speaking out until those he named addressed his concerns.
