VeryDarkMan Leads Abuja Protest, Demands Urgent Action Over Abducted Kebbi Schoolgirls
Nigerian activist VeryDarkMan has led a protest in Abuja demanding urgent government action following the abduction of 33 schoolgirls in Kebbi State. The demonstration reflects growing nationwide anxiety over escalating insecurity and the frequency of violent attacks targeting schools and communities. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
Speaking during the protest, the activist criticized what he described as the federal government’s silence and slow response to repeated acts of terrorism. He referenced a recent incident in Kwara State where armed men stormed a church and opened fire, a development he said further exposes the gravity of the security crisis.
VeryDarkMan questioned President Bola Tinubu’s handling of national security, insisting that his administration has failed to confront the rising wave of kidnappings and killings. He reminded Nigerians that Tinubu had openly criticized former President Goodluck Jonathan in 2014 during similar circumstances, when schoolgirls from Chibok were abducted.
He expressed disappointment that despite these past criticisms, the current government appears unable to protect citizens or prevent major attacks. According to him, many Nigerians initially welcomed Tinubu’s presidency believing he would offer firm leadership, only to now feel let down by what he termed a lack of decisive action.
The activist called for immediate efforts to rescue the abducted Kebbi schoolgirls and halt the cycle of violence affecting many states. He warned that the rate of kidnappings and killings had become “too much” and urged the government to demonstrate seriousness in addressing the crisis.
He also encouraged young Nigerians to speak up against insecurity, stressing that silence would only enable further deterioration. His protest adds to mounting public pressure on authorities to adopt stronger and more coordinated measures to protect schools and secure vulnerable communities.
Growing concerns over safety, particularly for children, continue to fuel frustration among citizens as attacks persist without significant breakthroughs in rescue operations or counter-terrorism interventions.
