Popular social media critic, Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), on Wednesday night led a mass protest in Abuja over the worsening security situation across Nigeria.
VDM, who returned to Nigeria from China at about 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, joined members of the Ratel Movement in a protest march to the Nigerian Air Force Base in Abuja, where they demonstrated against the growing insecurity in the country.
In a video circulating on social media, protesters were heard chanting, “Tinubu must go, APC must go, bandits must go, terrorists must go,” as they marched towards the Air Force Base.
VDM, a vocal critic of President Bola Tinubu’s administration, has repeatedly expressed concerns over the recent increase in kidnappings and killings in several parts of the country.
While in China, the activist described the Tinubu administration as incompetent and urged Nigerians to vote out the President and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2027 general elections.
Prior to his return, VDM had alleged that authorities were plotting to arrest him upon his arrival in Nigeria, a claim that generated concern among his supporters.
Several members of the Ratel Movement gathered at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, Abuja, ahead of his arrival to welcome him.
