Information on the proposed date for the launch of a book by Professor Oyin Ogunga could not be found among the sources consulted by the DIRB.

According to the 1994 annual report of the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights, which is a pro-democracy and human rights group based in Lagos, the launch of Tunde Adeniran's The Politics of Wole Soyinka was scheduled for 3 November 1994 at the Premier Hotel in Ibadan (Committee for the Defence of Human Rights Mar. 1995, 31). However, the launch was "aborted" when "anti-riot" police "invaded" the hotel and prevented organizers and guests from entering (ibid.). For additional information, please consult the attachment.
