Verydarkman Slams Government for Keeping Children inside Cell, States Their Crime: "It's Unfair"

• Verydarkman (VDM) has expressed disappointment at how the Bola Tinubu-led government has been handling certain issues
• In a video, he shared how some children were kept in a police cell and awaiting trial for flying the Russian flag
• He noted that the children do not have basic education and do not have an idea of their crime, and the video evoked emotions

Media personality Martins Otse, aka Verydarkman (VDM), has shared how he was arraigned at the federal high court, Abuja, alongside some children on Friday, November 1, 2024.

He said that he noticed the boys in a cell after he was arrested for wearing the police uniform without authorisation.

In a video shared on his Instagram page, the boys were aged 11 to 15 and looked malnourished. Verydarkman said the boys have been in detention for 93 days and were charged to court for flying the Russian flag. Consequently, they were not granted bail because they could not meet the bail conditions.

He added that the boys would be taken back to the police station which did not make sense because they did not understand what their crime was.

VDM called out President Bola Tinubu for how citizens are being treated under his adminstration. Besides, he said the boys were from Kano and his parents must have been looking for them tearfully.

VDM slams Tinubu over fuel price

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that the harsh economic situation in Nigeria made VDM tackle those watching the BBNaija show.

Several fuel stations are selling one litre at N1300, and VDM recalled that Tinubu met the price at about N200 when he took over power in May 2023.

He also lambasted those watching BBNaija and ignoring the state of the nation, which they would still meet after the show ends.
