TOP NIGERIAN JOURNO WANTED BY COPS
Investigative journalist David Hundeyin – who lifted the lid on Abuja’s plans to invade post-coup Niger last year – is now a wanted man in Nigeria.
The National Cybercrime Centre of the Nigeria Police Force has listed Hundeyin, along with crypto-trader Michael Temidayo Alade, as accomplices of Isaac Bristol, who is accused of being the prominent anonymous online whistleblower ‘PIDOM.’
Nigerians online are asking how authorities were able to track and apprehend PIDOM, who is now in custody, but cannot arrest bandits and kidnappers wreaking havoc in the country. Instead, they are going for journalists doing their job.
Hundeyin has been a marked man since July 2022, when he published an exposé of then-presidential candidate Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s role in a Chicago drug ring in the 1980s and early 90s.
Hundeyin is now facing charges of money laundering, cybercrime and unlawfully obtaining, retaining and disseminating classified official secret documents.
