A fresh controversy has emerged online as a man publicly accused controversial social critic, Verydarkman, of allegedly orchestrating the abduction of a couple in Edo State. The accusation has quickly gained attention on social media, igniting debates and speculation about the roles of multiple parties involved in the incident.
Earlier, Gistreel reported that Verydarkman claimed he arrested human rights activist, Harrison Gwamnishu, sparking further intrigue around the intertwined events and ongoing online narratives surrounding the individuals.
Details Of The Allegation
The allegation surfaced after an X user accused human rights activist Harrison Gwamnishu of diverting a 20 million naira ransom intended for his sister and brother-in-law, intensifying public scrutiny over the situation. The man, whose identity has not been disclosed, claims that Verydarkman and his associates, referred to as ‘ratel’ members, orchestrated the abduction of the couple as part of a scheme to frame Harrison Gwamnishu.
According to the accuser, the policeman stationed in Auchi, where Harrison Gwamnishu was arrested, is allegedly affiliated with the same cult group as Verydarkman, raising concerns about potential collusion within official ranks. These claims, though unverified, have contributed to the widespread attention and controversy surrounding the events.
In a video that has gone viral on social media, the man addressed the circulation of a 5.4 million naira ransom online. He insisted that Harrison Gwamnishu does not hand over the full ransom amount to the kidnappers and that operations to rescue victims from captivity have always been successful, portraying a narrative of partial compliance and intervention.
The video and allegations have provoked a wide range of reactions from social media users. One user, Deepen Insights, commented humorously, “Maybe VDM go too arrest someone. Them don arrest him too much. He who alleges must prove. 😂”. Another user, Emenike Godfather, remarked, “There’s sense in this cos how can kidnapperssss quickly noticed that the money no complete easily to the extent of arguing with them. People wey suppose de fear?”. Meanwhile, Success Chinedu inquired, “I thought VDM said he didn’t know the guy whom his brother and wife was kidnapped”. These comments highlight the mix of skepticism, humor, and concern among netizens following the allegations.
The Twitter post by @ChuksEricE further fueled the controversy, stating: “You see that kidn@pp£d couple in Edo State, I can bet my chest and tell you that it’s VeryDarkman and that his friend in Edo State joined hands together to arrange the whole thing just to set Harrison Gwamnishu up.
