NIA Attempted To Illegally Abduct Me From Foreign Country – Hundeyin Speaks Out After Being Declared Wanted

Nigerian investigative journalist, David Hundeyin, has claimed that the National Intelligence Agency (NIA) tried to illegally abduct him from a foreign country.

Hundeyin made the claim while reacting to being declared wanted by the Nigerian security authorities.

He lamented that the latest development is the price he has to pay for telling the truth, especially when it’s not fashionable.

Hundeyin stated this on Wednesday while fielding questions on News Central TV.

Recall that the police high command said its operatives are trailing Hundeyin and his accomplice, one Michael Temidayo Alade for allegedly leaking some classified documents, which it said is against the Official Secret Act.

The Police explained that the duo are accomplices of Bristol Isaac popularly known as PIDOMNigeria’s on X, who was arrested recently by the operatives attached to the Nigerian Police National Cybercrime Centre.

Reacting on national TV, Hundeyin said, “I’m fine, I’m perfectly fine. As you rightly said this isn’t the first time the Nigerian State is coming after me in this manner.

“As recently as last year there was a high level attempt that was made by the National Intelligence Agency to illegally abduct me internationally from a foreign country.

“So it’s been worse than this. And other attempts have been made also to render me stateless. And in the past year alone I have had to change country twice. So when the attempt was made to illegally abduct me from Ghana I had to fled to Kenya. And when they deemed it to render me stateless in Kenya then I had to move to the UK.

“This is part of the course and this is the price that you have to pay, unfortunately when, as I said earlier, you decide to tell the truth, when it’s not fashionable to do so. And when you’re doing so in the face of an establishment or a regime that sees truth telling as a direct affront or a threat to it. So it’s what it’s.”
