David Hundeyin, a Nigerian investigative journalist, has
claimed that he would be killed if he returned to the country.
The fugitive claimed that the federal government was after
his life for exposing some confidential information.
Hundeyin further claimed that the Nigerian government wrote
a letter to the Ghanaian authority demanding his repatriation after he exposed
an “internal communication within the Nigerian military ordering mobilisation
of troops to Sokoto in preparation for operations in the Niger Republic.”
He alleged that a jet was sent to bring him back to Nigeria
but he had already fled Ghana at that time.
He made claims in a recent podcast interview, The REN
Experience.
Hundeyin said, “I have written high-risk stories that I
can’t think of any Nigerian journalist alive or dead who has attempted… Okay,
maybe Dele Giwa. And he paid for it with his life. He got a letter bomb and he
died. And that was one such story. I have done several.
“So, there is a reason I can’t step foot in Nigeria. If I
step foot in Nigeria, I am going to die. That’s a fact. I will die.”
