VeryDarkMan, the social media critic, has raised the alarm
over alleged threat to his life by men who identified as the National
Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) members.
The controversy stemmed from an Instagram video shared by
the activist in which two individuals believed to be NANS members issued
violent warnings against him for allegedly meddling in student politics.
In the footage, the men threatened to “beat” the social
media critic and warned him to steer clear of NANS affairs.
The threats referenced Atiku Abubakar Isah, a factional NANS
president who was attacked during his inauguration in Abuja.
Isah had accused Seyi Tinubu of orchestrating the assault
via thugs, though he later retracted the claim.
“VeryDarkMan, I came here because of you. Let me tell you
this, our NANS president is Olusola Oladoja. Number 2, Seyi Tinubu is not part
of us. He is not a comrade, he is not a student,” one of the men said in pidgin
English.
“NANS is not a party, no be APC, no be PDP. No carry
yourself come NANS. NANS go beat you. Go ask Atiku. National Association of
Nigerian Students beat Atiku because e dey impersonate.
“That your social media where you dey make money, dey there.
NANS no get sense, dem go beat you if you trespass. We go mend you. Don’t carry
your social media come NANS.”
Reacting to the video, VeryDarkMan dismissed the threats and
dared them to confront him directly.
“If dem born una well, carry your NANS exco come find me. I
dey wait. I’ll tell these guys make dem cut una as we no get government for the
country, you dey threaten me,” he said.
In the caption accompanying the post, the internet
personality called the attention of the Nigerian police to the threats.
“The Nigeria police,
this is a threat to beat me up like they did to Abubakar Isah. They have
admitted to dehumanizing a citizen in Nigeria. They have admitted to killing,
and guess what? The police will not do anything about it,” he said.
“Well, I will definitely stand for myself to the guys in
this video. The Ratel no dey run. Mind you, I no be Abubakar Isah. I will be
waiting.”
