In the 1990s, as Nigeria was under a brutal military dictatorship, Radio Kudirat emerged as a glimmer of hope. The clandestine project united journalists, activists and engineers, who risked their lives to give Nigerians a voice even when a $5 million bounty was put out on their heads. Over 30 years later, Africa correspondent Ore Ogunbiyi re-unites some of the people who brought Radio Kudirat to life.
