The second would be 30 minutes after sitting for minimum of 10 hours to write. “It’ll last for 7 days, 20 hours. This means that I’ll only have 7 hours to myself for 7 days. The remaining 20 hours, I’m only expected to use 10 minutes for myself. “During this period, I’ll write and produce two books each day with a minimum of 25 pages each. The books to be produced are going to be on fiction and nonfiction. I’ll not use my voice to write. I’ll be using my hands and paper. “My phone is not expected to be with me. It’ll be far from me. There’ll be people who’ll handle all my social media handles(Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc). These are the places you can also watch the event live. It’s something that can be achieved through your support. I’ll need you on the D-Day.” See his post below:

However, during the course of the journey, the suspects attempted to snatch his Toyota Corolla vehicle. Displaying immense bravery, the Education and Political Science student resisted the carjacking, which only served to enrage the assailants further. In a vicious attack, Atabi was repeatedly stabbed and a rope was tied around his neck. The situation quickly escalated as Atabi, in a struggle to defend himself, lost control of the vehicle and collided with a security personnel at the scene. Sadly, the security man also lost his life after being rushed to a hospital in Calabar. SP Irene Ugbo, the spokesperson for the State Police Command, confirmed the tragic incident and assured the public that an investigation is underway. In a statement released on Sunday, SP Ugbo expressed determination in bringing the perpetrators to justice. “We shall do everything possible to ensure the assailants are arrested. No stone will be left unturned in this matter. We are launching a manhunt, and we shall get them and bring them to book,” stated SP Ugbo. “This is a further wake-up call to Cross Riverians. The killers will be made to face the full wrath of the law when apprehended,” she added. See below;
