An Enugu-based journalist and former House of Representatives candidate of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), David Ani, has accused operatives of the Nigeria Police Force Anti-Kidnapping Unit in Enugu State of allegedly tracking him and posing a threat to his safety.
Ani made the allegation in a statement issued on Saturday, June 13, 2026, in which he claimed that police operatives had intensified efforts to locate him despite, according to him, the absence of any known criminal allegation against him.
Ani said he received information from credible sources indicating that officers attached to the Enugu State Anti-Kidnapping Command had been making inquiries about his whereabouts.
According to him, his fears escalated after one of his associates repeatedly contacted him seeking details of his exact location, a development he said prompted him to investigate further.
Ani alleged that some of his associates were arrested and questioned by operatives of the Anti-Kidnapping Unit over information concerning his whereabouts.
