Hundeyin who said he traveled with a valid Ghanaian refugee passport expressed surprise that it is only in Zimbabwe that he got detained.
Nigerian investigative journalist, David Hundeyin has slammed Zimbabwe's Minister of Information Monica Mutsvangwa, accusing her of telling half-truths following his arrest and detention in the country.
Hundeyin who said he traveled with a valid Ghanaian refugee passport expressed surprise that it is only in Zimbabwe that he got detained.
According to him, he has traveled extensively to other countries without any qualms only for him to be detained in Zimbabwe.
He wrote:
I wasn't aware that it is standard operating procedure in Zimbabwe for the country's minister of information to tweet the asylum status of a foreigner, but since you've resorted to telling half truths, perhaps you should mention to your audience that I came into Zimbabwe with this valid Ghanaian refugee passport, which I have used to travel extensively over the world for 2 years.
I'm sure you saw the valid UK Visa inside it. I'm also sure that you saw the numerous entry and exit stamps inside it belonging to multiple jurisdictions inside and outside Africa. Only in Zimbabwe have I EVER had an issue travelling with this document.
You might also want to share with your audience that I put a call through to the Zimbabwean embassy in Accra before I travelled to confirm that I did not need a visa, and that J was expressly advised that as long as the airline was happy to recognise the travel document, I would have no problem coming into Zimbabwe visa-free.
I know this despicable Twitter stunt of yours does not represent the behaviour of the generality of Zimbabweans, many of whom I have had as dear friends since university 15 years ago, so I will not hold it against Zimbabwe. From experience, I know that it is possible for a great country to be held captive by a criminal political elite who lack legitimacy.
Whatever you thought you achieved by doing this, I assure you that you should have completed the job yesterday because you will not like what happens next.
