Breaking Point by David Hundeyin

How far can a man be pushed before he reaches his breaking point?

Breaking Point is the harrowing and high-octane memoir of a Nigerian investigative journalist who has become the most hunted man by the country’s corrupt establishment. After exposing high-level corruption and corporate greed, he finds himself forced into exile, seeking asylum in Ghana. But as he soon discovers, the “long arms” of Nigerian kleptocrats reach far beyond national borders—even as far as the university town of Oxford.

Over three incident-packed years, the author navigates a life that feels more like a spy novel than reality:

• High-Risk Investigations: Juggling multiple probes into terrorism, money laundering, and political malpractice.
• Survival on the Run: Managing safe houses, surviving deportation, and evading illegal rendition by foreign intelligence.
• Personal Turmoil: Amidst his professional battles, he recounts a whirlwind romance and marriage that rapidly devolved into a violent nightmare, nearly costing him his life.

This book is a fascinating compilation of his most shocking revelations interspersed with the behind-the-scenes drama of his own life. It is an essential read for anyone wanting to understand the intersection of power, media, and survival in modern Nigeria.
