Brandishing a letter emanating from the office of ACP Sani Fodio of the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Edo State Police Command, the activist said: “I cannot be intimidated or bullied for expressing my view on issues touching on the soul of the nation. The Freedom of Information (FOI) act is well designed and it is enacted to protect Nigerians from such acts of intimidation.
