VDM Opens Up on Unsual DSS Call, Exposes What They Told Him: “They Called Me This Morning”

  • VDM alleged that security operatives reached out to him after receiving reports that he had been "contracted" by the ADC to lead a massive protest
  • Denying any affiliation with the ADC, PDP, or APC, the activist maintained that he remains an independent "fourth arm of government
  • VDM expressed deep dissatisfaction with the current security situation, comparing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s past role in past protests

Social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VDM, has alleged that operatives of the Department of State Services recently contacted him over claims that he had been hired to organise a protest capable of causing unrest in the country.

The controversial commentator made the revelation in a video he posted on Instagram page on Tuesday, April 7, where the activist dismissed the allegations and insisted he has no political affiliation.

According to him, the security agency informed him that intelligence reports linked him to the African Democratic Congress and an alleged plan to mobilise protests against key institutions.

“DSS called me this morning and told me that they heard that I’ve been contracted by ADC to lead a protest, hereby causing unrest in the country,” he said.

He added that the claim suggested he was planning demonstrations targeting the Independent National Electoral Commission and the ruling All Progressives Congress.

However, he rejected the allegations, maintaining that he was not involved in any such move.

VDM stressed that he is not aligned with any political party, stating that he does not support the ADC, APC, or the Peoples Democratic Party.

“First thing is first, I’m not partisan and I’m not supporting ADC anywhere… I also don’t support APC or PDP,” he said.

He described himself as an independent voice focused on issues affecting ordinary Nigerians, particularly governance and insecurity.

The activist also argued that voters should not rely on celebrities to decide who to support during elections.

However, in a new twist, VDM stated that he is open to settling the matter, but only if a specific demand is met.
