VeryDarkMan and Deji Adeyanju, his lawyer
Social activist and lawyer, Comrade Deji Adeyanju, has issued a public warning to social media personality, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), urging him to be more cautious and avoid what he calls “unnecessary risk.”
Adeyanju, who is also VeryDarkMan’s legal counsel, warned him on Sunday via a post on his X account.
In his post, Adeyanju revealed that he frequently advises VDM to be careful, but his counsel is often not heeded.
VeryDarkMan’s lawyer warned him that the public’s support is fleeting, and if anything were to happen to VDM, the general populace would quickly move on.
“I call VDM every time to be careful and stop taking unnecessary risk but he doesn’t listen most of the time,” Adeyanju wrote.
“If anything happens to you today, everyone has moved on by tomorrow. We only overrate ourselves, Nigerians don’t rate anybody.”
Adeyanju’s public warning comes in the context of VDM’s controversial and high-profile activism. (Nigerian Tribune)
