LAGOS, Nigeria(VOICE OF NAIJA) – Renowned Nigerian Investigative journalist, David Hundeyin, has voiced grave concerns about his personal safety should he set foot in his home country.
Hundeyin asserted that his life is in jeopardy as a result of exposing sensitive information, with the federal government allegedly pursuing him relentlessly.
The fugitive goes on to claim that the Nigerian government took the extraordinary step of addressing a formal letter to Ghanaian authorities, urging his return to Nigeria after he exposed an “internal communication within the Nigerian military ordering mobilisation of troops to Sokoto in preparation for operations in the Niger Republic.”

During a recent podcast interview titled The REN Experience, he asserted his claims.
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.”
