Foundation for Investigative Journalism

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Foundation for Investigative Journalism (FIJ) is a Nigerian investigative journalism organization founded by Fisayo Soyombo in June 2020.[1] FIJ reports on social justice, human rights abuse, and corruption in Nigeria.[2] FIJ's online newspaper began operations on Wednesday, January. 20, 2021 with the publication of the extrajudicial killing of End SARS protesters at the Lekki tollgate area on October 20, 2020.[3]

Published investigations by the FIJ have led to refunds by the police on extortion, refunds to customers by airlines and banks, and actions by the Nigerian Immigration Service.[4]

Detention of FIJ journalists

On December 13, 2021, Fisayo Soyombo was detained at the headquarters of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) in Abuja in connection to a story published by FIJ about a police camp project approved in 2018 and scheduled to be completed in 14 weeks. FIJ reported that the then Commissioner of Police in charge of budget and finance approved more than N1billion for police transit camps projects in Benue, Bauchi, Plateau, Katsina, and Kano State. The report stated that after a visit to the project locations, little had been done three years later.[5] He was released few hours later.[6]

On August 31, 2023, Damilola Ayeni, a Nigerian journalist and editor of the FIJ was arrested and falsely tagged a Jihadist by the police in Benin Republic while he was investigating a story around the Pendjari National Park.[7] 800,000 CFA was demanded for his release.[8] He was released on September 9 after public outcry.[9]
