Nigerian activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) has exposed a shocking truth after his release from detention. He was granted N2 million bail by the court for wearing a police uniform without authorization. While in detention in Abuja, VDM discovered over 20 kids under 15 years old being held for allegedly flaunting Russian flags during a protest in August 2024.
These kids were charged with treason, and VDM considers this inhumane. He’s calling on President Tinubu to grant them freedom, highlighting the desperation and poverty driving people to protest. The protest itself was a response to the economic hardship in Nigeria, with many struggling to survive.
VDM shared his experience on Instagram, revealing the heartbreaking scene of these young detainees and their distraught mothers waiting outside the courthouse. His video aims to raise awareness and pressure the government to reconsider the charges.
