À propos de cet e-book

A sinister government surveillance programme is ‘eating’ up Nigeria’s social media citizens... Nothing would stop it; its obliteration of the government’s haters only a matter of time. And DSP Adams Musa is happy to superintend over it. But now it has its eyes set on his girl – Doris Ayuba – a social media freak whose only hope of survival depends on her ability to stay off her phone. When Musa tries to warn her, Doris gets angry and accuses him of spying on her. And when the Algorithm implicates her in the kidnap of Assistant Commissioner of Police, Badmus Awosika, Musa must find another means to save her. However, the alluring, beautiful and more sociable Cynthia stands in the way.

In this dangerous game of love and deception, Musa must sift through the maze of intrigues, treachery and betrayals within the murky waters of law enforcement politics to find freedom for Doris; a quest that brings him face to face with the frightening dangers of using artificial intelligence in the criminal justice system.
