VeryDarkMan Visits Plateau Attack Scene, Urges Residents Not to Rely Solely on Government Protection

Social media activist VeryDarkMan has drawn public attention after visiting the scene of a recent violent attack in Gari Ya Waye, where he addressed residents affected by the tragedy.

During his visit to the community in Jos, the activist expressed frustration over recurring violence in northern Nigeria and urged locals to remain vigilant about their safety.

“Don’t listen to the government, they won’t come to help you,” he reportedly told residents while assessing the aftermath of the attack, a statement that quickly circulated across social media platforms and sparked mixed reactions.

The incident adds to a series of violent attacks that have affected several communities in Plateau State and other parts of northern Nigeria over the years, often resulting in casualties, displacement, and destruction of property.

While some Nigerians supported VeryDarkMan’s comments, arguing that communities must prioritize self-protection amid persistent insecurity, others criticized the remarks, warning that such statements could undermine public confidence in security institutions.

Security analysts have repeatedly called for stronger collaboration between local communities and government agencies to address longstanding security challenges in the region.

As of the time of reporting, authorities had yet to release a detailed statement regarding the specific incident in Gari Ya Waye, while residents continue to call for increased security presence and long-term solutions to recurring violence.
