The social media space has been buzzing with reactions after Rapid Response Squad, a unit of the Lagos State Police Command, deleted a tweet attacking popular investigative journalist, David Hundeyin and Labour Party (LP) supporters popularly known as ‘Obidients’.
The journalist had shared a tweet informing whistle-blowers not to contact him via Twitter DM.
According to him, the microblogging platform is no longer safe.
The Disobedient
Responding to the Tweet, the handler of RRS tackled David Hundeyin.
The handler says he was supposedly acting like someone who was getting all his published information himself.
Peter Obi supporters were not left out as they were described as ‘disobedients’.
To the handler they are the people feeding the journalist with information.
The handler wrote: “You acted as if you were getting all info by yourself, Mr Research journalist.
“So, it is these disobidients that feed you doctored stories.
“There’s nothing worth tracing you.
“You want to keep showing you are under threat to justify why you got exile opportunity why many dey find.”
Police Interest
Reacting to the post, “Hundeyin wrote: Interesting that the person handling the @rrslagos767 account just inadvertently revealed that there is police interest in my work, as if I didn’t know that already”.
