Caleb Ojewale is a local and international award-winning journalist and an assistant editor at BusinessDay Newspaper in Nigeria. Fetching him the award for the Anti-corruption category, his investigative report, ‘How Security Agencies Hunt, Extort Local Farmers Over Border Closure’ uncovers how a highly organized racket involving government agencies exploit rural farmers and traders in border communities due to the closure of borders. The closure was meant to revive agriculture but local farmers were worse off than before due to corrupt acts of the security agencies involved.
