Social media activist, VeryDarkMan, has accused Benue youths of allowing politicians to use them despite the insecurity in the state.
VDM made the remark during an Instagram Live while speaking about his visit to Benue.
“My only reason for talking about Benue is that most of you are bastards, most of you youths are bastards. Politicians will use you, after election they will still kill you people,” he said.
He warned that people could still lose their lives in Benue, Nasarawa or Jos during the December period, urging youths not to allow politicians to use them for political activities.
VDM also spoke about the incident in Yelwata, claiming there was a military checkpoint close to the area and that soldiers had been ordered not to move.
He further claimed that a police officer intervened when gunmen began shooting, forcing them to flee.
“The person who saved them was a drunk police officer. I heard that when the gunmen came and started shooting, the officer stood his ground and started shooting, and the gunmen ran,” he said.
VDM said his reason for visiting Benue was to make people aware of the situation.
“I went to Benue because I want to bring awareness that people are dying. I go there to show you so the government will know that we know people are dying,” he said.
He ended by warning youths against allowing politicians to use them.
“The purpose for this video is don’t let politicians use you,” he said.
