Martins Otse, popularly known as Verydarkman, has been given a 48-hour ultimatum to apologize over a video he made while reacting to a recent comment by the Sultan of Sokoto, Abubakar Sa’ad.
Peak Newspaper Nigeria reports that the outspoken activist had responded to the Sultan of Sokoto, Alhaji Muhammadu Abubakar III’s recent comments about social media.
This comes after the Sultan described social media as a “terrorist organization” in a viral video, citing its potential to spread false narratives and destabilize society.“Social media is a terrorist organization.
What they do; somebody will sit down in his comfort zone and formulate stories, and you will discover that it is not true,” the Sultan stated.
However, VDM disagrees, arguing that the Sultan’s comments are offensive to individuals like himself who have leveraged social media for good.
In a viral video directed at the Sultan, VDM highlighted his efforts in using social media to fight injustice and promote positive change.
