If you messaged or rang me here in the last seven weeks but got no reply, I didn’t ignore you. I have been away engaging in the activity that makes me feel the most alive: undercover investigating an impossible story, this time physically draining, mentally tortuous, away from civilisation and without my gadgets.
I will be taking two more months off social media — to consult a physician, get examined by a physiotherapist, possibly speak to a therapist, then get on with writing what is unquestionably my biggest story ever.
See you back online sometime in September.🙏🏾
Wallahi if you gathered the entire Dantata family in one place, Dangote included, and emptied every account they own, they still would not produce ₦61 trillion, over 40 billion dollars, in CASH. Even Elon Musk, the richest man on the planet, does not have that kind of money lying idle. To raise the $44 billion he paid for Twitter, he had to sell over $20 billion of his Tesla shares, take a $13 billion loan from a consortium of banks, and BEG co-investors for another $7 billion. That is what it takes for the world’s wealthiest man to gather a sum smaller than what you people claim one man in Kano kept in cash. Our problem with numbers is beginning to border on mental illness.
Today, I experienced one of the most traumatic moments of my life.
I had gone to a friend’s place to lend him my MacBook charger because I stay in Ikorodu his charger had stopped working. After leaving his place and heading home, I was stopped by men who identified themselves as Nigerian police officers. They were not dressed in standard police uniforms, which made the situation even more frightening.
I was forcefully pushed into my car, accused of being a cultist without any evidence, and subjected to intimidation. My phone was searched, I was threatened, and I was repeatedly told that if I did not cooperate, I would be shot, killed, or have my car taken away.
They drove me around to different locations, including from Ikorodu to ketu under a bridge, while continuing to threaten me. Under fear for my life, I was forced to open my banking apps and make transfers. In total, about ₦700,000 was taken from my account through coercion. They wanted me to pay them 5 million which I don’t even have, They also forced me to call friends and demand money from them, insisting that I raise millions of naira despite having committed no crime.
This was not a voluntary transaction. Every action I took was because I genuinely feared for my life.
I am sharing this video because no Nigerian should have to experience this. No one should be threatened with weapons, intimidated, or forced to hand over their hard earned money by people who are supposed to protect them.
I am reporting this incident to the appropriate authorities and financial institutions, and I hope those responsible are identified and held accountable.
Please help me by sharing this until it reaches the right people. This has to stop.

12 - 🇪🇸 Lamine Yamal is averaging 12 dribbles per 90 minutes at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
That's the most by a player to play 200+ minutes in a tournament since 🇳🇬 Jay Jay Okocha in 1998 (also 12 per 90).
Tricksters.
Ask people in CBN. You can't use deception to open an account in CBN. You can't. They verify these things. There are processes.
The earlier we started speaking he truth, the better for the image of the county.
By the way, I will be here till you guys release him. You pick innocent citizens and start profiling them. No evidence, no alleged crime, just random raid and throw them into the cell. @PoliceNG_CRU@AbimbolaShotayo@LagosPoliceNG
.@LagosPoliceNG all your official lines that I have tried are not responsive including that of the PPRO. One of my staff was arrested at a Ball house this evening while watching football, I am here at Ogudu Police station and they are not responsive.

A £20k salary in 1990 would be worth around £60k in today's money.
A £20k salary in 2026 would be worth around £6.8k in 1990.
Tell us again how we're supposed to have it easy?
N680,000,000 for travels, transportation and entertainment in 2012.
Almost A Billion Fucking Naira. For A Governor That Projected A Mere N12 Billion As Internally Generated Revenue
Training - 10,000,000
God Will Destroy You @PeterObi You Fucking FRAUD
Peter Obi You Prioritized Travels, Transportation & Entertainment Over Training
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
We must make a deliberate effort to restore academic excellence to the very top of our social value system. A society that ridicules education is toying with its future.
This constant insult towards educated people has gone too far.
