U.S. revoked Nigerian Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka’s visa, citing new information, barring him from entry.

The U.S. has revoked Nigerian Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka’s non-immigrant visa, citing "additional information became available after the visa was issued," according to a letter from the Lagos consulate dated October 23. Soyinka, 91, said he was not given a specific reason and suspects political motivation, referencing past criticism of Donald Trump. He previously renounced his U.S. green card in 2016 and declined a scheduled visa interview. The revocation bars him from entering the U.S. unless he reapplys, amid broader policy shifts limiting Nigerian visa access.
