Investigative journalist David Hundeyin from Nigeria claims that the Bola Tinubu-led administration is attempting to kidnap him out of Ghana, where he currently resides, and silence him.
In a speech to the United Nations Human Rights Council, Hundeyin claimed that the Nigerian government had gone above and beyond to silence him because of his journalistic work.
Hundeyin claimed that the Tinubu administration intended to kidnap him and take him to Nigeria, where he would be imprisoned, tortured, and executed extrajudicially, in a video of the speech he released on his X (previously Twitter) account on Wednesday.

He said, “Thank you for the opportunity to speak at the 54th session of the UN Human Rights Council.
“As an investigative journalist from Nigeria, my work primarily focuses on advancing transparency and accountability in government.
“I have repeatedly used my journalistic platform to expose and publicize malfeasance and criminal behaviour by powerful people in Nigeria, most recently the new Nigerian president, Bola Tinubu, an individual whose FBI file of over 2,500 pages is set to be released publicly for the first time next month and who has as a matter of public record forfeited $460,000 to the United States government being proceeds of heroin trafficking.
“Due to my journalistic work, his regime has taken extraordinary steps to silence me, including a recent attempted abduction from Ghana, where I have political asylum.

“The terrible regime is currently trying to prevail on Ghana, which historically is a close ally of Nigeria, to violate the non-reforming principle and have me return to Nigeria where I would almost certainly face imprisonment, torture, and extrajudicial execution.”
As he must constantly watch out for his safety, Hundeyin continued, the circumstance has left him uneasy.
He added: “To save my life and the important work that I do. I have been forced into a semi-nomadic lifestyle where I am really sleeping in one place for a prolonged period of time. In fact, it is from one of these temporary locations that I’m filming this message.
“Under Article 19 of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, freedom of expression is a fundamental human right, and as a journalist, I must be able to do my work without living in fear or living on the run simply because I’m doing my job.”

Remember that Hundeyin had sounded the alarm, claiming that Tinubu should be held accountable if anything happened to him or if he passed away.
