Detained renowned investigative journalist, David Hundeyin has been released from the Zimbabwean international airport detention.

We report that Hundeyin on Wednesday night disclosed in a series of posts on his verified Twitter handle that he was detained at Harare Airport for nearly 7 hours.

According to the Journalist, the Zimbabwean authorities had detained him for traveling without a visa despite using the travel document of a country with a visa-free relationship.
