Award-winning author Chimamanda Adichie has distanced herself from some media reports attributed to her in which she purportedly supported the current Biafran agitation.
Adichie, who is the author of the bestseller, ‘Half of a Yellow Sun’, said this in a Facebook post on Monday. The headline of one of such false write-ups read, ‘Enough of this Political Correctness, I am a Biafran and Nothing Else – Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’.Adichie, who posted a picture of one of such false write-ups, said she never made any statement on Biafra.
She said, “This headline below, and other similar headlines, which appeared on some websites: are false. They are completely invented; along with some accompanying quotes which have been attributed to me. I did not say or write those words.”
