Editi Effiong, the director behind ‘The Black Book,’ had previously shared the challenges he faced in obtaining necessary permissions from the Nigerian police and Armed Forces in September 2020.
His involvement in the End SARS campaign had raised concerns, but he persisted, stating, “I’d leave the panel on Tuesday and fly to Abuja on Wednesday for meetings with police, Army, or Airforce.
