Because the brave storyline and comprehensive reporting, this series attracts a lot of attention. While legal action is ongoing, the first two episodes will be removed temporarily from the Jideonwo platform.

While reacting to the lawsuit, Jideonwo said, “This legal challenge is more than just a personal battle. This raises urgent questions about freedom of press, responsible journalism, and the future storytelling investigations in Nigeria. If this decision is permitted to stand, it can establish troubling power. Journalists and filmmakers may begin to be afraid to say about the truth.”

“This documentary takes months carefully. The team behind it verifies all claims, makes a clear difference between facts and accusations, and reaches every person mentioned in the series through the right channel, including former ministers, Diezani Alison-Mateke.
