- VeryDarkman has rejected an explanation from Harrison Gwamnishu’s lawyers over the alleged misappropriation of £5 million in ransom money.
- The lawyer reportedly claimed the money was used to create “fake cash” containing tracking devices, but VeryDarkman dismissed that account as technically impossible and inconsistent.
- He reiterated his role in alerting authorities, accusing Gwamnishu of dishonesty in the Edo kidnapping case while questioning the credibility of his lawyer’s defence.
Controversial social media activist Martin Vincent Otse (VeryDarkman) has publicly questioned the defense provided by activist Harrison Gwamnishu’s lawyers after Gwamnishu was arrested for allegedly embezzling ransom money.
VeryDarkman, who previously claimed he alerted authorities, was reacting to a reported statement from Gwamnishu’s legal team regarding the £5 million ransom portion.
Lawyers’ claims and VDM’s suspicions
According to VeryDarkman, Gwamnishu’s lawyers claim that £5 million deducted from the ransom was used to replace “fake money” used to hide tracking devices.
VeryDarkman dismissed this explanation as technically flawed and illogical, and questioned the feasibility of the tracking method described.
“I posted that I made the phone call that led to Harrison’s arrest, but said I wouldn’t say anything until he told the truth himself. Yesterday, I saw a lengthy statement online from Harrison’s attorney explaining what happened. They claimed he needed fake money so he could hide the tracker in it, but they forgot that fake money is lighter than real cash and can’t hold a chip.” VeryDarkman said.
The rebuttal upheld the VDM’s position that Gwamnishu was dishonest about the funds involved in the Edo State kidnapping case, while the lawyer’s statement sought to provide a legal and operational justification for the handling of the ransom funds. ]
