A former Presidential Adviser on Political Affairs, Senator Babafemi Ojudu shared his experience in prison during the military regime of the late General Sani Abacha.
Speaking in Ado-Ekiti during a media interaction with journalists on his new documentary book titled ‘Adventures of a Guerrilla Journalist’, Ojudu revealed that he drank his own urine to survive while in prison.
According to him, “There was a time I drank my urine when I was dying. I had diarrhea and no medication was given to me. I read a book about someone who says urine cures illnesses and maybe because I had faith in it, I could not feel the illness again the following day after drinking it.”

He also emphasized the importance of a vibrant press in a democratic society, saying, “Without a vibrant press, it will be difficult for a nation to get things right.”
The book, which will be officially unveiled on December 18, 2024, chronicles Ojudu’s struggles as an investigative journalist during the military regime.
