Popular Nigerian social media critic VeryDarkMan has taken a strong stand against the federal government’s response to the recent mass killings in Benue State. The online activist, known for calling out political and social injustices, slammed President Tinubu’s remarks and questioned the seriousness of Nigeria’s security agencies in handling the crisis.
The tragic attack in Yelwata, Guma LGA, reportedly claimed the lives of over 200 residents, leaving the nation in shock. While many Nigerians continue to grieve and demand justice, President Tinubu issued a statement asking for dialogue and reconciliation with the attackers. This response has sparked outrage among citizens, including VeryDarkMan.
In a passionate online video, he questioned why the government would suggest talks with people responsible for burning innocent victims alive. According to him, the entire situation reflects just how powerless the country’s leadership has become in the face of violence.
He expressed disbelief that top security officials claim to be unaware of the incident or the attackers’ methods. From his account, the armed group came well-prepared with gallons of fuel and AK-47 rifles, yet managed to carry out the assault without being stopped. For VeryDarkMan, this suggests the attackers operate with little to no resistance.
He didn’t hold back, saying the herdsmen appear to be “bigger than the government,” and urged Benue residents to take steps to defend themselves legally. To emphasize his point, he even joined young people in a peaceful protest held in Makurdi, where he repeated his call for action.
As the outrage continues to build, many Nigerians are turning to social media to echo his frustration and push for real change. The killings in Benue are no longer just headlines—they’re a wake-up call for national accountability.
