The President of the Arewa Youths, Yerima Shettima has issued a strong warning to social media activist VeryDarkMan amid the ongoing protest led by the activist in Abuja.
In a viral video circulating online, he accused the activist of previously insulting Northerners and urged him to relocate his protest to Edo State instead of bringing it to Northern Nigeria.
“Before I come back to Abuja, VeryDarkMan, you should relocate your protest to Edo State. I am not in Abuja. VeryDarkMan, this message is for you and your sponsors. Relocate your protest to Edo State before I come back to Abuja,” he stated.
The Arewa youth leader claimed that security agencies have recently recorded successes in tackling insecurity and should not be distracted by protests capable of creating tension in the North.
He also insisted that Northern youths were ready to defend their region and would not tolerate any action they believe could destabilise the area.
“We are not scared of you. Let me tell you, VeryDarkMan, you and whoever is supporting you, we the Northern Nigerians are ready. We are ready to protect the North. Relocate your protest back to Edo State.
There’s insecurity in Edo State, so go there and lead your protest. Don’t start that in Abuja. This is a warning to you,” he added.
The warning comes after VeryDarkMan returned from China and commenced protests in Abuja over bad governance and the recent wave of kidnappings across the country, while also demanding the immediate rescue of the abducted Oyo school victims.
The remarks have since sparked reactions online, with Nigerians sharing mixed opinions over the warning and the ongoing protest.
