Investigation In Nigeria Military
~0.9 mins read
Investigative journalist ‘Fisayo Soyombo spent 10 weeks tracing the deaths, disappearances and injuries from the military intervention into the Lekki toll gate protest of October 20, 2020. In the first of this three-part series, he details the death threats, intimidation and reported incidents of murder obstructing the flow of information on the number and identity of victims.Dabiraoluwa Adeyinka was in the middle of a fiery conversation with friends in the final week of October 2020 when her phone rang. An unknown number was calling.“Who do you want to speak with?” she asked quite curtly, impatient to rejoin her friends. What followed for the next one minute left her astounded.I don’t understand English,” the caller warned. “Calm down and listen carefully to what I have to say.”He had kicked off the conversation by chillingly blurting “hello” thrice without uttering anything else, before consistently warning Dabiraoluwa to “back off”, his husky voice intermittently fading with the glitch that has defined mobile telephony in Nigeria.
