FIJ journalist Fisayo Soyombo's relentless pursuit of truth through investigative journalism has brought to light the pervasive corruption within the Nigerian Customs Service, shedding light on the activities of smugglers without disclosing specific names.
Despite these exposés, the lack of concrete action by authorities has left many Nigerians disillusioned. In a curious turn of events, the police have launched a campaign urging citizens to be vigilant and report suspicious activities, accompanied by the slogan "See Something, Say Something."
However, this initiative has been met with skepticism from the public, who point out the apparent discrepancy between the call for citizen involvement and the authorities' track record of responding to such reports. Nigerian social media users have expressed cynicism, citing instances where individuals who reported wrongdoing were met with harassment or ignored altogether.
Many argue that until tangible action is taken to address corruption within law enforcement and ensure protection for whistleblowers, initiatives like the "See Something, Say Something" campaign may ring hollow
