A man has recounted what allegedly transpired during the protest led by social media activist VeryDarkMan in Oyo State over the abd¥ction of pupils and a teacher from Oriire.

According to him, the demonstration began peacefully as protesters marched to the Oyo State Government House to meet Governor Seyi Makinde and demand swift action toward securing the release of the k!dnapped victims.

Recounting his experience, he said:

“I witnessed what I’ve never witnessed in my life. What I saw today, I will tell my children and grandchildren. We joined the protest, and everything was peaceful. We went to the governor’s house, and the governor spoke to us.”

However, he alleged that tension erupted as demonstrators were leaving the area when some individuals suddenly began shouting that armed men were approaching, triggering panic among the crowd.

“People started shouting, ‘They are coming with cutlasses!’ People started running, and I ran too. But the craziest part was that VDM did not run. He faced them and charged back at them. When protesters saw VDM and Kokopee charging back, they also turned back, and the th.u.gs fled the scene,” he added.
