Exposing Nigeria’s cough syrup crisis, for my brother

The Outlook Podcast Archive - A podcast by BBC World Service

Nigerian Ruona Meyer was inspired by her famous journalist father - Godwin Agbroko - to become an investigative reporter like him. When he was killed, her grieving brother became addicted to codeine cough syrup. Ruona - clad in bullet proof vest and blue lipstick - risked her life to uncover the black market trade in the medicine that’s become a street drug. Her documentary Sweet, Sweet Codeine has been nominated for an Emmy. Presenter: Jo Fidgen Producer: Constanza HolaImage: Ruona Meyer Credit: BBCGet in touch: [email protected]
