The Nigeria Police has linked popular investigative journalist, David Hundeyin to PIDOMNigeria, in a cybercrime case.
The popular social media handle @PIDOMNigeria is accused of leaking classified government documents, fraud, sedition, and tax evasion.
Police Force spokesperson, Muyiwa Adejobi made this known on Tuesday during a briefing in Abuja.
Hundeyin was accused by the Nigeria police of conspiring to undermine the country’s peace and security.
According to the police, ‘’this group worked together to leak sensitive government information, fund terrorism, launder money, finance protests against the government and attempt to destroy evidence.
Adejobi confirmed that efforts were ongoing to trace Hundeyin and Alade.
“I’m sure the Force are working assiduously to see how they can get them. Perhaps they must have sent an invitation letter to them.
“Or they must have contacted them one way or the other. I don’t know the plan the team has,” he said.
Reacting to the allegation on his X handle, Hundeyin accompanied the police report with “Apparently, @DavidHundeyin is now a wanted criminal suspect in Nigeria.
“What crime did this dangerous criminal commit? Journalism. It was journalism. He did journalism.”
