Nigerian social media critic, VeryDarkMan, has raised serious concerns for his safety after receiving threats from individuals claiming to be members of the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS).
The threats came in response to his involvement in student political affairs.
In an Instagram video shared by VeryDarkMan, two unidentified men—alleged to be NANS members—were seen issuing violent threats over what they described as his interference in NANS matters. The men warned him to steer clear of student politics, making specific references to a recent assault involving Atiku Abubakar Isah, a factional NANS president.
“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 declared 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.”
The threats referenced the recent attack on Atiku Isah during his inauguration in Abuja. Although Isah initially accused Seyi Tinubu of orchestrating the incident, he later retracted his statement.
Reacting to the video, VeryDarkMan dismissed the threats and dared the individuals 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 fired back.
In the caption accompanying his post, he called on the Nigerian police to take action.
“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 wrote.
“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.”
As of now, there has been no official response from the Nigerian police or NANS regarding the threats.
Watch him speak…
