['Fisayo Soyombo @fisayosoyombo]

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.🙏🏾
