Mission of the Dusk

Udonne Mbana returns to his local community after meritorious retirement from civil service. His sense of justice is jerked into action after discovering the oil company in his village is paying millions that a desperate duo of local chieftains is cornering on behalf of the hapless community.

Despite intimidating threats and attacks, Udonne leads the fight against the diabolical injustice happening directly to the temple of the law. His landmark case pits good against evil in a heart-stopping manner that makes Mission of the Dusk a page-turning thriller.

“Mission of the Dusk by Inyang E. Ekwo is a stark rendition of the drive for justice by Udonne Mbana, who is perforce turned into an activist and human rights crusader at about age seventy, after a laudable retirement from the civil service. He undertakes a life-or-death battle with corrupt local overlords and comes up trumps. Inyang E. Ekwo tells truth to power without any embellishment in Mission of the Dusk. This book deserves commanding attention now that Nigeria is in dire need of a moral direction.” – Uzor Maxim Uzoatu, author of God of Poetry
