VDM gives Harrison Gwamnishu ultimatum to confess to fake rescues

​Story Highlights

Social media critic Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, has ordered Harrison Gwamnishu to admit to allegedly staging kidnapping rescue missions by 11 am on January 5, 2026. In an Instagram video, Otse threatened to release damning evidence if the activist fails to address accusations of deceiving the public for financial gain.

​Nigerian social media critic Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has issued a stern ultimatum to human rights activist Harrison Gwamnishu regarding his operations. The self-acclaimed “Ratel King” demanded a public confession from Gwamnishu concerning what he described as misleading narratives around kidnapping rescue missions.

​Otse posted a video on his Instagram page warning that the activist has until 11 am on Monday, January 5, 2026, to speak the truth or face public exposure. This challenge marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict between the two public figures, drawing the attention of thousands of followers online.

​Allegations of staged operations

​In the video, VDM accused Gwamnishu of deceiving Nigerians by allegedly staging forest rescue operations to gain sympathy and money. The critic argued that the patterns observed in these missions raised serious red flags that required urgent answers.

​Otse questioned the logic behind the repeated rescue claims made by the activist. He argued that genuine kidnapping syndicates would never allow individuals to film their faces or publicize their locations while carrying out dangerous missions in the forest.

​The online personality insisted that the current narrative defies the reality of how criminal gangs operate in Nigeria. This skepticism comes shortly after VeryDarkMan exposed Harrison Gwamnishu’s ransom conditions in a separate controversy involving leaked audio recordings.

​ValidUpdates understands that VDM believes the videos serve as a tool for financial exploitation rather than genuine humanitarian work. He stressed that the pattern of these rescues suggests a coordinated effort to manipulate public emotion rather than solve actual crimes.

​Demand for accountability

​VDM clarified that his actions do not stem from a personal vendetta against Gwamnishu but from a desire for accountability. He emphasized that Nigerians deserve to know the truth about where their donations and support go.

​The critic maintained that he would not stand by while the public potentially falls victim to a calculated scheme. This stance mirrors his previous actions, such as when he released a phone call exposing Harrison over a disputed refund, which sparked widespread debate on social media.

​Otse stated that if Gwamnishu fails to speak openly within the given timeframe, he will release information himself. He hinted that he possesses evidence that could damage the credibility of the activist significantly.

​The looming deadline

​The deadline set for 11 am on Monday creates a tense atmosphere as followers wait to see if Gwamnishu will respond. Silence from the activist could trigger the release of the “receipts” that VDM claims to hold.

​Supporters of Gwamnishu have often praised his bravery, but these new accusations cast a shadow over his recent activities. The demand for a confession challenges the core integrity of his rescue missions and places his reputation on the line.

​Observers are now watching closely to see if the activist will address the claims or ignore the threat. The outcome of this ultimatum could reshape how the public views independent security operations in Nigeria.

Harrison Gwamnishu begs for forgiveness after admitting financial errors

​Story Highlights

Nigerian human rights activist Harrison Gwamnishu issued a public apology on January 3, 2026, admitting to serious lapses in accountability and financial management. Following weeks of social media backlash led by VeryDarkMan, Gwamnishu denied involvement in kidnapping but acknowledged mishandling client funds and has begun issuing refunds.

Human rights activist Harrison Gwamnishu has officially apologised to the public following weeks of intense pressure and accusations on social media. The Delta State-based activist released a video on his Instagram page on Saturday, January 3, 2026, where he asked for forgiveness from those he has wronged.

​Gwamnishu admitted that he made mistakes while carrying out his duties and failed to remain accountable in certain cases. ​This public confession comes shortly after VeryDarkMan released a phone call exposing Harrison Gwamnishu over a disputed refund, which sparked widespread debate about his integrity.

​Admission of financial lapses

​In the video, Gwamnishu specifically addressed issues regarding funds people entrusted to him for legal and security cases.

​He confessed that he did not properly manage resources given to him by clients identified as Madam Tonia and Franklin. ​The activist revealed that a woman sent him 600,000 Naira to handle a job, but he failed to deliver the expected results or communicate effectively.

​Gwamnishu confirmed that he has started refunding the money since November and promised to clear all outstanding debts soon. ​He urged anyone else he might have offended or owed to contact him directly so he can resolve the matter privately.

​Denying kidnapping claims

​Gwamnishu also used the opportunity to clear his name regarding serious allegations linking him to kidnapping activities. ​He firmly denied being a kidnapper and explained that his role only involves assisting security agencies in handling kidnapping cases.

​The activist claimed that his previous statements in Pidgin English were misunderstood by the public and twisted to sound like a confession of crime. ​He also extended a direct hand of friendship to his main critic, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM).

​Gwamnishu praised VDM for his advocacy work and apologised for ignoring previous attempts by the critic to resolve complaints privately. ​The controversy has drawn in other public figures, recently seeing VeryDarkMan slam Ruth Kadiri for deleting a post that initially supported the embattled activist.

​Gwamnishu has since deleted two earlier videos where he tried to defend himself, stating he now chooses peace over conflict.

VeryDarkMan slams Ruth Kadiri for deleting post supporting Harrison Gwamnishu

​Story Highlights

Nigerian social critic Martins Vincent Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, has publicly criticized actress Ruth Kadiri and influencer Rita4Delta for backing Harrison Gwamnishu. In a video released in January 2026, VDM mocked Kadiri for deleting a December 6 post of support after fraud allegations gained traction, accusing the entertainment industry of enabling bad behavior among friends.

​The self-proclaimed Ratel King has turned his sights on the Nigerian entertainment industry with a fresh wave of criticism. Martins Vincent Otse released a scathing video calling out top celebrities for their initial support of embattled activist Harrison Gwamnishu.

​He specifically targeted Nollywood actress Ruth Kadiri and social media figure Rita4Delta. Otse argues that these public figures only withdrew their support after undeniable evidence surfaced, rather than standing for truth from the beginning.

​The Deleted Post Controversy

The drama centers on a specific Instagram post made by Kadiri on December 6, 2025. VDM pointed out that the actress publicly praised Harrison just as legal troubles began to mount.

Otse noted that she deleted the post immediately after public opinion shifted against the activist. He described this move as a desperate attempt to save face, stating that “the internet remembers” regardless of deleted content.

​This confrontation comes just days after VeryDarkMan releases phone call exposing Harrison Gwamnishu over disputed refund, which significantly altered the public narrative.

Otse insists that supporters like Kadiri looked “stupid” for blindly backing someone without reviewing the facts first.

​Accusations of Double Standards

​The critic expanded his attack to include other influencers like Rita4Delta. He expressed personal disappointment in her stance, claiming she ignored serious safety and fraud concerns because of personal relationships.

VDM believes influencers demand transparency from government officials but refuse to apply the same standards to their colleagues. This double standard, according to him, damages their credibility when the full truth emerges.

​He further alleged that the initial support was an attempt to silence his investigation, claiming that VeryDarkMan claims Harrison Gwamnishu edited videos to hide fraud.

Otse argues that celebrities often band together to protect their own, even when the evidence of wrongdoing is clear.

​The Ratel Movement’s Stance

Otse reaffirmed that his platform serves as a “fourth arm of government” designed to expose rot. The activist insisted that he does not care about industry alliances or friendships when investigating wrongdoing.

​He concluded that the “Ratel Movement” will continue to preserve receipts and hold everyone accountable, regardless of their social status.

Meanwhile, the accused activist has tried to defend his position, as Harrison Gwamnishu explains refusal to refund ₦600,000 donation amid medical rescue dispute.

VeryDarkMan claims Harrison Gwamnishu edited videos to hide fraud

​Story Highlights

Martins Vincent Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, publicly accused human rights activist Harrison Gwamnishu on January 3, 2026, of manipulating defense videos to conceal financial impropriety. The online personality alleged Gwamnishu charged N2 million for free legal aid and misled a donor regarding flight logistics for a medical case.

​Nigerian online personality Martins Vincent Otse has intensified his public dispute with activist Harrison Gwamnishu by releasing a detailed response to the latter’s recent defense.

​On January 3, 2026, the critic popularly called VeryDarkMan (VDM) posted a video analysis accusing Gwamnishu of editing clips to mislead the public about donation management.

​This reaction follows a recent statement where Harrison Gwamnishu explains refusal to refund a specific N600,000 donation involved in the saga. VDM described the activist’s two-part video release as “damage control” designed to hide the truth rather than clarify the issues.

​The self-acclaimed “Ratel King” noted that splitting the defense into multiple edited parts looked suspicious for someone simply telling a personal story.

​Claims of secret fees for free aid

​VDM challenged the narrative that Gwamnishu provides legal help entirely free of charge to indigent Nigerians. ​Screenshots shared by VDM reportedly show a transaction of N2 million paid to the activist for a 2022 land dispute intervention.

​These allegations add weight to the ongoing conflict, which escalated when VeryDarkMan admits reporting Harrison Gwamnishu to the Edo State Police Command in December. ​Otse argued that soliciting public funds while secretly charging clients amounts to indirect financial gain under the cover of charity.

​The flight ticket discrepancy

​A major point of contention remains the N600,000 donation meant for a young boy’s medical case in Cross River State. ​VDM accused Gwamnishu of deceiving the donor by sending videos that suggested he was already traveling to Calabar when he was not.

​The critic pointed out date errors on the flight receipts Gwamnishu shared as proof of travel during the dispute. VeryDarkMan warned that this exposure is only the beginning and promised to release further evidence of alleged deception soon.

Burna Boy gives VeryDarkMan $100,000 for prisoners and hospital bills

​Story Highlights

On December 26, 2025, Grammy-winning artist Burna Boy donated $100,000 (N150 million) to social critic VeryDarkMan for charitable causes. The funds will reportedly clear fines for prison inmates and settle outstanding medical bills in public hospitals across Nigeria’s 36 states.

Popular social media activist VeryDarkMan has announced a massive financial contribution from Grammy-winning singer Burna Boy to support indigent Nigerians. On December 26, 2025, the controversial critic revealed that the musician sent him $100,000 (approximately N150 million) to fund a nationwide humanitarian project.

This significant donation comes just days after Burna Boy reveals reason for mask during his recent public appearance in Delta State. VeryDarkMan (Martins Vincent Otse) confirmed that the funds currently sit in his custody while his team prepares the necessary documentation.

​Breakdown of the $100k donation

The activist explained that the N150 million sum will serve two specific purposes to help people start a “fresh 2026.” First, $50,000 (N75 million) will go toward securing the release of prison inmates who remain incarcerated solely due to their inability to pay minor fines.

These fines reportedly range from N30,000 to N300,000, keeping many individuals locked up for years despite their eligibility for release. The remaining $50,000 (N75 million) will settle outstanding medical bills for patients stranded in government and public hospitals.

VeryDarkMan, who recently made headlines when VeryDarkMan admits reporting Harrison Gwamnishu, stated his intention to reach beneficiaries across all 36 states. He expressed profound gratitude to the “City Boys” crooner for trusting him with such a huge amount to carry out this project.

​The critic also noted that the initiative targets the “4th Arm of the Government,” a term he uses to describe his movement for social justice.
