“On the 19th, around 10 a.m., they told me that the Army was looking for me. I said, ‘Army ke?’ He said yes. I panicked. Which wahala do I have with the Nigerian Army? I couldn’t remember anything. Then I said, ‘I don blast Christopher Musa before o.’
Anyway, I just said, ‘No wahala, let’s go.’ Because two things came to my mind: if they wanted to kpai me, they would have done it already. They already knew where I was and they know how to track me. So I followed them.
I didn’t know exactly who was looking for me. They just said the Army wanted to see me. Next thing, we entered a car, and they drove me to Asokoro. When we got there, we entered the military base. As soon as we got in, we drove straight in.
When they opened the door, guess who I saw? Christopher Musa. The same person I had blasted online. I looked at him well. This was on the 19th, around 11:30 a.m.—no, around 10:30 a.m.
When we entered, he told everyone to step outside and leave the two of us alone. Then we sat down. He looked at me and said, ‘VeryDarkMan.’ I said, ‘Yes, sir.’
He asked, ‘Do you know why I brought you here?’ I said, ‘No, sir.’ Then he said, ‘I need your help.’
I was shocked. I asked, ‘Sir, help with what?’
He said, ‘You need to tell me everything you noticed when you went to Yelwata. You were the first person with a camera who went there. People were scared to go. So tell me everything you observed when you got to Yelwata, what you think, and any information you gathered.’
After I told him everything, he said, ‘Okay, thank you very much. We’ll take it from here. Please, if you have any more information, let me know.’
Then we took this picture that day. As you can see, it was on the 20th of June 2025.
The reason I’m talking now is because when I heard he had been removed as Chief of Defence Staff, I just shook my head. You know why? Because that man was genuinely looking for solutions.
For that man to call VeryDarkMan to his house, look me straight in the eyes—this is the Chief of Defence Staff, bro—and tell me, ‘I need your help’… that’s someone who isn’t ashamed to seek information from anywhere. No pride whatsoever.” — Activist VeryDarkMan shares the story of his private encounter with former Chief of Defence Staff, General Christopher Musa, following reports of Musa’s nomination as the new Minister of Defence by President Bola Tinubu.
