makoko, one of the largest slums in nigeria. i'm on the trail of the black axe, my country's deadliest cult group. this place is incredible. we're literally travelling over raw sewage, but this is the only way we can access the black axe cult in makoko. it's taken months to negotiate a meeting and we have no idea what to expect. we're having to go through the back way, in order to get to this place because we can't be seen to be coming there openly. we're trying to avoid being tracked by, possibly, rival cults or even the police. cults — secret brotherhoods of young men — are terrorising communities across nigeria, robbing, raping, and murdering. black axe spread fear wherever they go. the closer we get, the more hostile the situation becomes. you can already hear hostile comments, people talking about, "why are we here? "why are we filming?" distant shouting as night fell, we went deeper into the maze of wooden houses. we were going to a place known as the arena, where local axemen gather at night. singing they have agreed

politics is really rotten in nigeria. there are members within the government today and they don't want this information to come out. this evidence has been hacked by an anti—fraud investigator, known as uche tobias. we've hidden his identity to keep him safe. he's targeted the email accounts of high—ranking members of the nbm, revealing the intersection between the black axe, politics and crime. distorted voice: the neo-black movement as an organisation - isjust a charade. the endgame of the organisation is to subvert the opinion of the public into believing that they're legitimate, when, in fact, the opposite is true. it's a big smokescreen for what they really are, which is a mafia. uche's obtained potentially explosive evidence, thousands of emails exposing the long history of axemen infiltrating politics in benin. a hacked email from 2012 suggests politicians funnelled 35 million naira to the nbm to assist with an election campaign in edo state. in return, axemen were allegedly promised 80 roles in government. di

mayeni, anger in nigeria at being put on the red list. yes, real anger and also confusion, the anger because many nigerians, and other africans, who are on the red list, feel this decision is discriminatory. they say they feel the levels of covid in africa have been much lower in the pandemic, nigeria is averaging 91 new cases per day, only 200,000 positive cases have been recorded throughout the entire pandemic, which is a small fraction of its massive population of 200 million people. but there is also confusion because so far the national centre for disease can says that only three cases of the new omicron variant have been identified here, that was five days ago, those numbers may have gone up but they say that all of them came from travellers who came from south africa. so a lot of people here are frustrated that christmas plans have been thrown into disarray, many nigerians in the uk will be hoping to come back this year and celebrate christmas with their relatives. they are now having to either cancel their plans or think of really
