Nigerian Police allegedly declare investigative Journalist David Hundeyin wanted
Multiple award winning investigative journalist, David Hundeyin has claimed the Nigerian police declared him wanted in connection with the prosecution of Isaac Bristol, who is accused of being the prominent anonymous online whistleblower known as PIDOM Nigeria.
In a statement released on Tuesday by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Hundeyin and Michael Temidayo Alade were listed as alleged accomplices of PIDOM. The statement comes after Bristol was arraigned at the Federal High Court in Abuja on Tuesday, September 3, and remanded for a minimum of 7 days at Kuje prison.
Arrested late August, PIDOMNigeria is accused of leaking classified and restricted documents, fraud, sedition, and tax evasion among others.
Addressing journalists in Abuja on Tuesday, September 3, Muyiwa Adejobi, said PIDOM was arrested following a petition from the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation.
Adejobi said that when police officers stormed PIDOM’s hotel, he resisted arrest, locked himself up, destroyed his phone, and flushed it down the toilet.
The police on Tuesday named Hundeyin as a suspect in the same case against Pidom, while Alade is listed as a police witness set to testify against Bristol.
Hundeyin, an award-winning investigative journalist, is known for his work exposing corruption and human rights abuses allegedly carried out by the Nigerian government.
Taking to X to claim he has been declared wanted by the Nigerian police, Hundeyin said his only crime was “Journalism.” See his posts in X below…
