JUST IN: David Hundeyin In Fresh Trouble As He’s Detained In Zimbabwe [DETAILS]—Popular Nigerian investigative journalist, David Hundeyin, has been detained at Harare Airport, in Zimbabwe.
The controversial journalist announced this via his verified Twitter handle on Wednesday night.
He said the officials detained him for entering the country without a visa.
According to him, they said his nationality is still Nigerian, despite “using the travel document of a country with a visa-free relationship.”
Hundeyin said his “return flight to Addis has been rescheduled for tonight,” adding that he is “ready to hop on my flight and never come back to Zimbabwe for the rest of my life.”
In an update shared under his initial thread, the fugitive said he has “been allowed to use the loo for the first time in 10 hours, and I’ve been assured that I will be allowed to catch my exit flight.”
He tweeted:
I landed in Zimbabwe earlier today, and I have been detained at Harare Airport inside a smelly locked room for nearly 7 hours.
They said that despite using the travel document of a country with a visa-free relationship, my nationality is still Nigerian, and thus, I need a visa.
I was processed for removal from their country and locked in a tiny room, but I have heard nothing from anyone for several hours.
Alongside a lady from Uganda (also a visa-free country), I have been locked in a room with no windows or toilet, plus a bottle of pee on the floor.
No one appears to be in charge of anything, and even though my return flight to Addis has been rescheduled for tonight, I am still locked in this room, and I risk missing my flight.
They appear to have forgotten that they have people in detention here.
I am ready to hop on my flight and never come back to Zimbabwe for the rest of my life.
Please, someone out there who is actually in charge of something should let me go so I can be on my merry way. I’m not interested in visiting Zimbabwe anymore.
I’ve been allowed to use the loo for the first time in 10 hours, and I’ve been assured that I will be allowed to catch my exit flight.
I will keep updating until I board and have my passport returned to me.
