- VeryDarkman has rejected the explanation given by Harrison Gwamnishu’s lawyer regarding the alleged diversion of ₦5 million from a ransom payment.
- The lawyer reportedly claimed that the money was taken to create “fake cash” containing a tracking device, but VeryDarkman dismissed the account as technically impossible and inconsistent.
- Reaffirming his role in alerting authorities, he accused Gwamnishu of dishonesty in the Edo kidnapping case while questioning the credibility of the lawyer’s defense.
Controversial social media activist Martin Vincent Otse (VeryDarkman) has publicly challenged the defense offered by the lawyer of fellow activist Harrison Gwamnishu, following Gwamnishu’s arrest over allegations of diverting ransom funds.
VeryDarkman, who previously claimed he alerted authorities, reacted to a statement reportedly issued by Gwamnishu’s legal team regarding a ₦5 million portion of the ransom.
The Lawyer’s Claim and VDM’s Skepticism
According to VeryDarkman, Gwamnishu’s lawyer claimed that the ₦5 million removed from the ransom payment was taken to be replaced with “fake money” in which a tracking device would be hidden.
VeryDarkman dismissed this explanation as technically flawed and illogical, questioning the feasibility of the tracking method described.
“I posted that I made the call that led to Harrison’s arrest, but I said I wouldn’t say anything until he himself spoke the truth. Yesterday, I went online and saw a long statement from Harrison’s lawyer explaining what happened. They claimed he needed fake money so he could hide a tracker inside it, but they forgot that fake money is lighter than real cash and can’t hold a chip,” VeryDarkman stated.
The rebuttal maintains VDM’s stance that Gwamnishu was dishonest about the money involved in the Edo State kidnapping case, while the lawyer’s statement attempts to provide a legitimate, operational reason for handling the ransom funds.]
