A Nigerian man has accused a VeryDarkMan supporter of sending him a death threat after he criticised the activist’s videos about the Adeleke family
A Nigerian man has raised concerns after claiming that he received a death threat from a supporter of social media activist VeryDarkMan, following his criticism of the activist’s videos about the Adeleke family.
The man took to social media to share the message he said was sent to him by an individual allegedly affiliated with the Ratel Movement, a group associated with VeryDarkMan.
His post has sparked discussion about online harassment and how supporters respond to people who express opposing views.
Reacting to the alleged message, the man directly challenged VeryDarkMan over the conduct of some of his supporters.
“VeryDarkMan, is this what the Ratel Movement is all about now?” he asked.
His remarks suggested concern that threats were being used against people who disagreed with the activist or criticised his public statements.
The allegation emerged amid heightened online debate surrounding VeryDarkMan’s recent videos about the Adeleke family.
The videos and reactions to them have attracted differing opinions among social media users.
However, the identity of the person who allegedly sent the threat and any connection to the movement have not been independently established in the information provided.
The man’s post prompted reactions from social media users, some of whom condemned the alleged threat and called for accountability.
One commenter argued that using intimidation against critics contradicted the idea of opposing authoritarian behaviour.
Another described the hostility displayed by some supporters as troubling, while others urged VeryDarkMan to address the conduct of people who identify with his movement.
A commenter who said they followed the activist also called on him to speak out against threats directed at members of the public.
Some responses went further, making harsh accusations about the movement and its supporters.
Those remarks reflected the anger surrounding the allegation but were opinions expressed by individual commenters rather than established facts.
The incident has renewed discussion about the responsibilities of prominent online personalities and the behaviour of people who support them.
While disagreements over public figures and their statements are common on social media, threats of violence, if verified, raise more serious concerns about personal safety and freedom of expression.
There is no evidence in the information provided that VeryDarkMan personally sent or directed the alleged threat. The allegation concerns a message the man attributes to one of the activist’s supporters.
The circumstances surrounding the message, including the sender’s identity and any response from VeryDarkMan, remain unclear.
