Prominent Nigerian social media activist and critic Martins Vincent Otse, better known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has unleashed a blistering condemnation of the federal government following a horrific terrorist attack on a Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) branch in Eruku, Ekiti Local Government Area of Kwara State. The assault, which claimed the lives of at least three worshippers, injured others, and resulted in the abduction of the pastor and several congregants, has ignited nationwide outrage and renewed calls for accountability in Nigeria's security apparatus.
In a fiery video statement circulating widely on social media platforms, VeryDarkMan decried the incident as a "clear failure of leadership and protection" under President Bola Tinubu's administration. "While politicians jet off to funerals abroad and waste billions on luxury, terrorists are slaughtering innocent Christians in broad daylight during worship. Kwara is bleeding, and the federal government is asleep at the wheel. Where are the troops? Where is the action? This is not governance; this is abandonment!" VDM declared, echoing sentiments from his earlier critiques of government priorities.
The attack occurred yesterday during a church service, with assailants storming the premises in a brazen display captured in harrowing livestream footage. Eyewitnesses described gunmen opening fire indiscriminately, leaving a trail of devastation in what local authorities have labeled a brazen escalation of banditry in the North-Central region. Kwara State Governor AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq has appealed for additional federal security reinforcements, including the recent deployment of 900 troops, but critics like VDM argue these measures are reactive and insufficient.
VeryDarkMan, who has built a reputation for unfiltered advocacy against corruption, insecurity, and social injustices, joins a chorus of voices—including the Committee for the Defence of Human Rights (CDHR) Kwara Chapter—that are demanding an immediate state of emergency declaration for affected communities. "Nigerians deserve safety, not excuses. The blood of these victims is on the hands of those who promised change but deliver only chaos," he added.
The activist's remarks have sparked a polarized online discourse, with supporters hailing his boldness as a vital check on power, while detractors accuse him of politicizing tragedy. As investigations into the attack unfold, VDM has vowed to mobilize his platform and newly launched NGO to support victims' families and push for systemic reforms.
