'Uber Was CIA' - Journalist David Hundeyin's Claim Sparks Data Sovereignty Debate After Company's Nigeria Exit. https://247ureports.com/2026/09/uber-was-cia-journalist-david-hundeyins-claim-sparks-data-sovereignty-debate-after-companys-nigeria-exit/ - Investigative journalist David Hundeyin has ignited controversy online after alleging that Uber's 12-year presence in Nigeria was tied not to ride-hailing profits, but to intelligence gathering for the United States.
In a post that quickly spread across Nigerian social media, Hundeyin wrote: 'Uber is CIA. They were part of a U.S. military-industrial complex, collecting intelligence data in Nigeria for 12 years. They left after their contract expired; a Palantir subsidiary in Abuja has replaced them.'
