Like I said on the thread I created, Nigerian security forces are fighting war of attrition in SE. They have never killed any armed Gunmen here, they are only killing unarmed civilians and bombing buildings.
This is one of the buildings they bombed. Someone's hard earned money. Someone's sufferings of many years.
Tinubu Regime Wants To Silence Me, Recently Attempted To Abduct Me From Ghana, Nigerian Investigative Journalist, Hundeyin Tells UN Council
September 27, 2023 NEWS
In a video of the address seen by SaharaReporters, Hundeyin accused the Tinubu administration of planning to kill him if he is eventually abducted.
A Nigerian investigative journalist, David Hundeyin, on Wednesday, told the United Nations Human Rights Council that the Bola Tinubu-led government has been taking steps to abduct him from his country of residence, Ghana.
“Earlier today at the 54th session of the @UNHumanRights Council held in Geneva, I spoke about the Nigerian regime's ongoing attempt to silence me and put an end to my journalistic work using illegal rendition and diplomatic meddling,” Hundeyin confirmed his X (formerly Twitter) handle.
In a video of the address seen by SaharaReporters, Hundeyin accused the Tinubu administration of planning to kill him if he is eventually abducted.
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.”
Hundeyin added that the situation has made him unsettled as he is forced to always be on the lookout for his safety.
He continued: “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.”
SaharaReporters earlier reported that Hundeyin had raised the alarm, saying Tinubu should be held responsible if anything happened to him (David) or if he died
Hundeyin, who said this in a video he personally posted on X platform (formerly Twitter) last week, alleged that President Tinubu was after his life because he revealed the President was allegedly a drug trafficker and certificate forger, which according to him, unveiled Tinubu’s fake reputation.
The journalist who fled Nigeria to Ghana in 2020 and was granted asylum and refugee status in 2022 alleged that Tinubu was using security intelligence to mount pressure on the Ghanaian government to repatriate him to Nigeria and get him killed.
Suspected killer of Rivers DPO saved from lynching, detained
…My boss, 2Baba, has over 40 guns—Suspect …As Ogoni distances self from murder of Angbashim’s 4 children, wife
By Davies Iheamnachor
PORT HARCOURT— Operatives of the Rivers State Police Command have arrested one of the persons alleged to be involved in the killing and decapitation of the Divisional Police Officer of Ahoada Division in Ahoada East Local Government Area, Mr Bako Angbashim, a Superintendent of Police.
Meanwhile, the Ogoni ethnic nationality in Rivers State, where Angbashim served before his redeployment to Ahoada, has said they were not the people that killed five members of Angbashim’s family.
It will be recalled that the family of Angbashim, four children and wife, were allegedly killed by criminals, allegedly forcing the slain DPO to go diabolic in the line of duty.
But, the Ogonis in a statement in Port Harcourt, yesterday by the Ogoni Peoples Assembly, OPA, said the slain DPO did not lose his family members in Ogoni land as insinuated.
The leader of OPA, Rev. Probel Williams, said the deceased DPO had a very good and cordial relationship with the people of Ogoni when he served as the DPO of Bori, Khana LGA, adding that his family members would not have been killed in the area.
Williams said the support given to the deceased contributed to his crime-fighting success, stating that his presence brought sanity and restored security in the area.
However, the police in the state said they had detained one of the persons, involved in the killing of Angbashim.
It said youths had arrested the suspect and were about to lynch him before he was rescued by the police and then detained.
The Public Relations Officer of the Command, Grace Iringe-Koko, who confirmed the development, said the suspect was arrested by youths and was about to be lynched before police came to the rescue.
Speaking earlier to youths, who apprehended him, the suspect whose name was not disclosed, said his boss, 2Baba Gift David Okpala Okpolowu, popularly called 2Baba, had over 40 guns in his custody. He said his boss had contacted a native doctor from the Ogoni area of the state, who helped them kill the DPO spiritually to enable them to defeat the gallant officer.
He said: “I will not lie, when they killed the DPO, I was not there. I was across the river. I will not lie, I have a conscience. When they brought the DPO, I did not see him. I swear. I don’t know where they buried him. But I know where they brought him from.
“2Baba has over 40 guns since I went there. The person who supplies guns to him, he called the person on the phone, pays the person, and then they will supply the guns. I don’t know him.”
