Nigerian investigative journalist, David Hundeyin, has claimed the Federal Government would kill him if he returned to the country.
OsunDailyNG reports that the journalist made the claims during an interview on โThe REN Experienceโ, stressing the Nigerian government was after his life for exposing some confidential information.
According to Hundeyin, the Nigerian government wrote a letter to the Ghanaian authority demanding his repatriation after exposing an internal communication within the Nigerian military ordering mobilisation of troops to Sokoto in preparation for operations in the Niger Republic.
The fugitive further alleged that a jet was sent to bring him back to Nigeria, but he had already fled Ghana then.
He said, โI have written high-risk stories that I canโt think of any Nigerian journalist alive or dead who has attemptedโฆ 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.
โSo, there is a reason I canโt step foot in Nigeria. If I step foot in Nigeria, I am going to die. Thatโs a fact. I will die.โ
You Corrupt Flaming A**hole
Meanwhile, David Hundeyinย has berated the senior pastor of the House on the Rock Church,ย Paul Adefarasin,ย for preaching to Nigerians to โmove onโ a few days to the judgement of the Presidential Election Petition Tribunal.
This comes after Adefarasin, during the church service on Sunday, 3rd September, told his congregation to โmove onโ and learn how to do so without having closure.
The clergyman added that those seeking closure from God about something from their past and wanting an explanation from God do not trust God, hence their lack of trust.
He admonished his members to leave the pain behind and leave it to God to deal with it.
In reaction to Adefarasinโs sermon, Hundeyin, via the microblogging platform, X on Tuesday berated the pastor for being corrupt, likening him to a character in the โKing of Boys.โ
