- Social critic VeryDarkMan has claimed that the government plans to keep IPOB leader Nnamdi Kanu in detention until old age, alleging that his frequent court appearances are merely for public show.
- He also accused some South-East leaders of being secretly involved in Kanu’s arrest and continued detention.
Controversial Nigerian activist and social media critic, VeryDarkMan, has alleged that the government has no intention of releasing Nnamdi Kanu, the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
According to him, the authorities are deliberately using court proceedings as a façade to give the public a sense of progress while secretly ensuring Kanu remains in custody for years.
VeryDarkMan claimed that several prominent South-East leaders are also complicit in Kanu’s continued detention, accusing them of playing a behind-the-scenes role in his arrest and silence.
He asserted that the long-term strategy is to keep Kanu imprisoned until old age, stressing that his periodic court appearances are nothing more than a public show to maintain appearances of due process.
The activist’s comments have stirred fresh debate online, with many questioning the sincerity of ongoing legal proceedings and the broader political dynamics surrounding Kanu’s case.
In other news…. A Nigerian man, Usman Zannah, has reflected on an unusual twist of fate, marking eight years since his best friend, Aliyu, married his former girlfriend.
Usman revealed that the incident dates back to 2017, when he asked his best friend to test his girlfriend’s loyalty by attempting to woo her. The move, however, took an unexpected turn as the woman accepted Aliyu’s advances, leading to a romantic relationship between them.
What began as a test of faithfulness soon blossomed into marriage, with the couple later welcoming a child.
Usman first shared the story in 2019, noting at the time that his former girlfriend and best friend had been married for two years.
“Today has marked exactly 2 years since I sent my best friend Aliyu to go and try to date my girlfriend to test and confirm if she can accept any other man over me. They are now married with 1 child,” he tweeted then.
In a recent update posted on Thursday, October 23, 2025, Usman revisited the viral tweet, revealing that the couple’s family has since grown.
“3 kids now and counting,” he wrote.
His post has once again sparked conversations online about trust, friendship, and the unpredictability of relationships.
