Tinubu government plans to kill me if I set foot in Nigeria –Investigative journalist David Hundeyin

Popular investigative journalist and author, David Hundeyin has alleged his life will be cut short if he dares to set foot in Nigeria.

Hundeyin, who is currently residing outside Nigeria made the claim during a recent podcast interview, The REN Experience, where he also claimed that the federal government was after his life for exposing some confidential information.

The writer further said the government made an attempt to repatriate him from Ghana to the country but failed.

According to him, 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 went on to claim a jet was sent to bring him back to the country but the mission was unsuccessful because he had already fled Ghana at that time.

Speaking during the chat, 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.”
