Controversial social critic and online activist, VeryDarkMan, has once again ignited nationwide concern after revealing a shocking ordeal he claims occurred the moment he stepped foot back into Nigeria. In a tense and emotional video that has since gone viral, the outspoken figure alleged that certain individuals are actively plotting against him, insisting that some people are “trying to kpa me” and that the seizure of his passport was no coincidence but a carefully orchestrated move designed to send him a chilling message.
According to him, the incident unfolded immediately upon his return to the country. He said security operatives approached him, collected his passport without explanation, and held it long enough to create fear and confusion. While such procedures can sometimes occur during random checks, his account suggests something more deliberate and far more troubling. With his voice heavy, he narrated how the operatives appeared to be acting on instruction, stressing that they wanted to “pass information” to him by depriving him of his travel documents, even if temporarily.
VeryDarkMan, known for his bold style of commentary, often fearlessly takes on politicians, celebrities, pastors, and criminals alike—making enemies in different corners of society. He has repeatedly said that speaking truth to power comes at a cost, and in this latest revelation, many believe he may be experiencing the darker side of activism in Nigeria. The shockwave following his statements has left fans deeply worried for his safety, while critics argue that he exaggerates his experiences for attention. Still, his latest claim carries a seriousness that cannot be brushed aside.
He explained that while he is not new to threats, this particular experience felt unsettling, almost as if it was purposely designed to intimidate him. He said the operatives who seized his passport weren’t acting out of routine protocol but out of a more sinister agenda. To him, it was a warning. A calculated signal from those who are uncomfortable with his increasing influence and his relentless exposing of corrupt activities. “They want to show me that they can reach me anytime,” he said in the viral video, his tone drained of its usual fiery confidence. “They want to put fear inside me.”
The activist emphasized that the attempt to “finish” him would not be surprising considering the number of powerful individuals he has publicly confronted. Over the past year, his online presence has grown massively, especially as he delved into cases involving fraud, human trafficking, abuse, and societal injustice. His brand of activism—raw, aggressive, unfiltered—has earned him more than popularity; it has earned him enemies. And in a country where whistleblowers often face retaliation, his supporters fear that what he is describing may be more than paranoia.
Social media erupted almost instantly after he shared the experience. Many Nigerians rallied around him, urging him to stay cautious and consider reducing his exposure. Others called for a transparent investigation into why a high-profile critic would have his passport seized without a clear explanation. Some commenters expressed a deep concern about the increasing pattern of intimidation faced by outspoken Nigerians, citing past cases where critics mysteriously ended up harassed or silenced.
However, skeptics were quick to question parts of the story, urging him to provide details such as which agency seized the passport and whether an official report was given. Still, even those who do not always agree with his approach admit that the pattern of events around him has grown too consistent to ignore. For many, his outcry reflects a broader fear among Nigerians: that voices speaking against corruption and wrongdoing are not as safe as they should be.
What worried his supporters the most was the emotional vulnerability he displayed, something unusual for a man known for his brash confidence. He confessed that although he tries to act tough, the reality of facing unseen forces is overwhelming, especially when those forces could have access to state machinery. He insisted that he remains undeterred but openly admitted that he feels watched. He said the passport incident was a message, a symbolic way of showing him that they can disrupt his freedom at any moment.
The tension around his statement intensified as he hinted that he has received information from inside circles warning him to lower his voice. According to him, certain individuals believe he has become too influential and too dangerous to their hidden dealings. In his words, “I know say some people don dey plan. This passport matter no be ordinary.” He added that he is not accusing the entire security apparatus of wrongdoing but insists that some individuals within the system are working with external forces bent on silencing him.
His revelation has once again opened up an important conversation about the safety of activists, journalists, and critics in the country. Many argue that no matter how controversial someone may be, everyone has the right to speak without fear of being harmed. The incident also highlights the need for transparency in the way security personnel handle the rights and documents of citizens, especially those under public scrutiny.
As debates continue to rage online, one thing is clear: VeryDarkMan’s claim has deepened the public’s awareness of the precarious balance between activism and personal safety in Nigeria. His experience—whether fully verified or not—has become a reflection of the insecurity surrounding whistleblowing in a country where powerful people sometimes push back against criticism in dangerous ways.
For now, supporters are urging him to increase his security, move cautiously, and avoid unnecessary public confrontations. Many believe he has become too much of a target to continue operating as freely as before. Meanwhile, the activist insists he will not be intimidated into silence. He declared that even though they are trying to “kpa” him, he refuses to bow.
“I no fear anybody,” he said at the end of his video, though his somber expression told a different story. “As long as God dey, nobody fit run me down.” Those words have since spread across the internet, sparking discussions about bravery, vulnerability, and the price of truth-telling.
Whether this incident will escalate into something larger remains to be seen. But one thing is undeniable: the drama surrounding VeryDarkMan is far from over, and Nigeria’s digital community is watching closely, hoping the outspoken activist remains safe as he continues his fight for accountability and justice.
