SOS Alert: PIDOM NIGERIA Is Missing (And I Think We May Know Who Has Him)

For those who do not know him, PIDOM is an anonymous Nigerian whistleblower who has gained fame and notoriety over the past 4 years for a series of high-profile document leaks and online exposés showcasing various appendages and apparatchiks of the Nigerian government at their malfeasant, abominable worst.

His leaks have caused embarrassment at the highest levels of government multiple times, resulting in multiple high level warnings from the Presidency to the civil service invoking the Official Secrets Act. This happened most recently in June.

While PIDOM and I have always maintained a friendly and mutually respectful relationship, we have generally worked independently of each other.
