ABUJA, Nigeria – Nigerian social media activist VeryDarkMan has raised alarm over worsening insecurity in parts of the country, claiming that armed groups have taken control of forested areas.
In a strongly worded statement, he alleged that Boko Haram and other armed groups have established presence in several forests, making rural communities increasingly vulnerable to attacks and kidnappings.
He expressed frustration over what he described as the government’s inability to secure the release of abducted schoolchildren and other victims of kidnapping.
“If the government can’t rescue our girls and children, we’ll enter the bush ourselves,” he said, adding that he plans to travel to Oyo State as part of his response to the situation.
The remarks come amid renewed public concern over a series of abductions and attacks targeting schools and rural communities in different parts of the country.
Security analysts have repeatedly warned that armed groups operating in forest corridors across several states continue to pose a significant challenge to counterinsurgency operations.
Authorities have not officially responded to the activist’s comments at the time of filing this report.
Peoplesmind e reports that public reactions remain divided, with some Nigerians calling for urgent government action, while others caution against civilians taking direct confrontation into conflict zones.
