Popular social media activist Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, has claimed that he rejected offers to stop exposing human rights advocate Harrison Gwamnishu, giving him a 2-hour deadline to confess to alleged fraud in kidnapping rescue operations.
VDM revealed in a video posted on his Instagram page that he received numerous calls from influential figures offering him "any amount" of money to cease exposing Gwamnishu.

The activist said people have called everyone around him, pleading that he should stop talking about Gwamnishu and let everything go.
VeryDarkMan stated that despite the pressure and financial offers, he would only back down if Gwamnishu publicly admits wrongdoing.
He specifically demanded a confession about the rescue operations that Gwamnishu has publicised as successes on his social media page.
The activist said:
"I'm giving Harisson Gwamnishu an extra 2 hours to confess. Especially in the area of those kidnappings that he's posting on his page. That's making everybody say, oh, Harisson is working and all that. Let Nigerians know the truth about everything that you post on your page."
VDM warned that without a confession, he would release more evidence himself.
"I don't want to be the one to open your yansh. Confess."
VeryDarkMan also urged police and military personnel who collaborated with Gwamnishu on rescue operations to come forward with the truth.
He expressed surprise that none of the security officials have publicly defended Gwamnishu or confirmed his rescue claims. The activist said he expected to see videos from these officers within the 2-hour timeframe, vouching for Gwamnishu's authenticity.

The escalation comes weeks after Gwamnishu's arrest in mid-December 2025 by the Delta state police on charges of diverting over ₦5 million in ransom funds from a kidnapped couple's case in Edo state.
Gwamnishu, founder of Behind Bars Initiative, was granted bail and later denied being formally arrested, claiming he reported voluntarily.
In a public apology issued over the weekend, Gwamnishu admitted to mishandling resources and apologised to those affected by his actions in advocacy work.

Man urges Harrison to sack his lawyer
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Awuzie Frankline urged Harrison Gwamnishu to immediately sack his lawyer following controversial comments about fake currency used during a rescue operation.
Frankline argued that the lawyer’s defence worsened Harrison’s legal position and questioned who authorised or produced the alleged counterfeit money.
He made the comments amid allegations that Gwamnishu diverted ₦5.4 million ransom in a kidnapping case, where the pregnant wife was released, but her husband reportedly remains captive.
