ABUJA, NIGERIA — Popular and controversial social commentator Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), on Thursday staged a dramatic, impromptu demonstration at the bustling Banex Junction in Wuse II, Abuja.

Surrounded by a growing crowd of commuters, traders, and passionate youth, the activist leveled scathing allegations against the federal government and military leadership over their handling of the recent mass abduction of schoolteachers and students in Oriire Local Government Area, Oyo State.

A Grim Allegation: "One Teacher Beheaded"

Addressing the crowd through a megaphone, an visibly enraged VeryDarkMan brought a horrifying new claim to the forefront of the national conversation regarding the Oyo State school abductions.

“Oyo State teachers and students were kidnapped, and one of the teachers was beheaded!” VDM shouted to the crowd, sparking audible gasps and murmurs of anger from onlookers. "President Tinubu has failed to do anything, and the military has failed to do anything!"

While security agencies have confirmed the mass abduction in Oriire LGA and stated that tactical rescue operations are actively underway, VDM's claim regarding the execution of an educator has injected fresh panic and urgency into the ongoing security crisis.

Budgetary Scrutiny: Questioning Nigeria's ā‚¦3.18 Trillion Defense Allocation

A central pillar of the activist’s street-side address was the massive financial resources allocated to Nigeria's defense sector, which he argued has failed to translate into visible safety for everyday citizens and vulnerable classrooms.

VDM strongly criticized the leadership of the Ministry of Defence, questioning the efficacy of the country's multi-trillion-naira security spending:

  • The Claim: VDM asserted that despite the Minister of Defence receiving trillions of naira annually—referencing an estimated figure of ā‚¦3.18 trillion—banditry and kidnappings continue to paralyze both northern and southern states.

  • The Demand: "Where is the money going? Why are our schools still hunting grounds?" he challenged, demanding accountability for military spending in the face of intelligence failures.

An Ultimatum to the Federal Government

The demonstration coincides with a wave of organized outrage across the Federal Capital Territory. Both the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) and the Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) have held solidarity rallies in Abuja this week, demanding the safe return of their colleagues and students.

VDM echoed these sentiments, delivering an uncompromising ultimatum to the presidency and security chiefs, promising sustained civil unrest if the victims are not brought home safely.

"All we want is for them to bring back the children and the teachers," VDM declared before the crowd dispersed. "Or we will come out every single day."
