Daniel Etim-Effiong, the Nigerian actor, has detailed his father’s decades-long imprisonment after being wrongly linked to the 1986 Vatsa coup plot.
In a recent interview with Diary of a Naija Girl, the actor revealed that Moses Effiong, a retired lieutenant colonel, spent 34 years in prison following his arrest during one of Nigeria’s most tense military crackdowns.
Effiong said he was just one year old in 1985 when his father was detained, months after Ibrahim Babangida seized power from Muhammadu Buhari in a palace coup.
