“As early as 6 a.m, I started getting distress calls, One of our coordinators called and said that the chairman of the local government called and warned him that no visit should take place in his local government and that he is under pressure from the state government. The DPO also called and raised similar alarm that he is under enormous pressure that we should not come”.

“We defile all their threats and got to the place. We were confronted by the Ebubeagu team, the government militia and they shot at one of our cars.”
