In Lagos, where we lived, soldiers were used in targeted raids of certain homes, including our own home... Some may wonder why soldiers would be after me so fervently. As I mentioned, it happened that I had just written A MAN OF THE PEOPLE, which forecast a military coup that overthrows a corrupt civilian government. Clearly a case of fact imitating fiction and nothing else, but some military leaders believed that I must have had something to do with the coup and wanted to bring me in for questioning. Chinua Achebe, in his book, THERE WAS A COUNTRY.
