The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has faulted the Federal Government’s silence over the arrest of popular activist, Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), saying the lack of communication contributed to the youth-led protests that erupted in Abuja.
According to the party, the government’s failure to promptly clarify the circumstances of VDM’s detention ignited public outrage and confusion among young Nigerians.
Speaking to Vanguard in Abuja on Monday, the PDP Deputy National Youth Leader, Timothy Osadolor, stated that most of the demonstrators had limited knowledge of the reasons behind the activist’s arrest until just before they took to the streets.
