Well-known human rights activist and a
0:02
humanitarian, Martins's Vincent Os aka
0:05
Vid Darkman has apparently threatened
0:07
the media, especially those he referred
0:10
to as bloggers, not to use his video
0:12
contents on their page. And if they do,
0:14
he would report the video to the
0:16
management of social media platforms
0:19
like YouTube, Facebook, Tik Tok among
0:21
other online platforms. the video or
0:24
videos were published and ensured the
0:26
video or videos are brought down or
0:28
removed. He stated this on Tuesday noon
0:31
in a 9 minutes video wherein he accused
0:33
the media especially those he referred
0:35
to as bloggers of not joining hands with
0:38
him and others to launch massive
0:39
campaign and awareness when Ruth Otabore
0:42
was alive. the sister of the Big Brother
0:44
Nigeria season 7 winner Ejuma Otto aka
0:48
Fina who allegedly needed more attention
0:50
and care from Dangote group of company
0:53
owned by Africa richest man Hiko Dangote
0:56
whose truck hit Ruth Otabbor few days
0:58
after the accident victim Ruth Otabore
1:01
rounded off her examinations as a final
1:03
year student of federal poly techchnic
1:10
victim was announced on Sunday, bloggers
1:13
started publishing the news stories
1:15
massively. Continuing, Vid Darkman
1:17
accused Fina of being a greedy person,
1:20
saying, "Fina wrote a demand list of 1
1:22
billion naira to Dangote even when she
1:25
has not visited her sister in the
1:27
hospital to know the true picture of her
1:30
condition. In a swift reaction, a
1:32
well-known sex educator who uses raw
1:34
words to pass across her teachings, Izzy
1:37
Bay aka Ekia Queen condemned the act of
1:41
Vid Darkman, saying it was the alleged
1:43
greed of Fina that killed her sister
1:45
with Ekia Queen accusing Vidman of being
1:48
a liar who is trying to cause more pains
1:50
to the bereaveved Fina even when he
1:52
knows her sister just died less than 48
1:55
hours ago. Earlier before today, when
1:58
the accident victim Ruth Otterbore was
2:00
still alive, Vid Darkman published a
2:03
video narrating how Fina allegedly
2:05
betrayed him when Dangote group invited
2:07
her for possible settlement after Vid
2:09
Darkman and many others in the society
2:11
took to their social media page to
2:14
campaign and protest over the Dangote
2:16
truck accident reportedly leading to
2:18
immediate amputation of the two legs of
2:20
the female victim. Ruthore
2:23
Vid Darkman said when Fina got the
2:26
attention of Dangote group, Fina sent a
2:28
message to him that the Dangote group
2:30
requested that they don't want him Vid
2:32
Darkman in the discussion. An action Vid
2:35
Darkman considered to be that Fina was
2:37
the one that betrayed him apparently
2:39
because of money. It is yet to be
2:41
ascertained if truly the Dangote group
2:44
rejected Vid Darkman in the discussion.
2:46
But if the claim is confirmed to be
2:48
true, we believe the Dangote group may
2:51
have rejected Vid Darkman because Vid
2:53
Darkman apparently insulted the person
2:55
and the personality of Aliko Dangote,
2:58
the founder of the Dangote group while
3:00
he was protesting over the accident. In
3:02
the 9-minute video on Tuesday, Vidogman
3:05
withdrew his earlier statement and the
3:07
threat he had issued that if anything
3:10
happened to Fina's sister, he would
3:12
travel to Aouchi and ensure Dangote
3:14
operations were shut down in Achie. He
3:17
said on Tuesday that he would no longer
3:19
travel to Aouchi because of Fina's
3:21
sister. Adding that if Dangote truck hit
3:24
another person, he would do what he had
3:26
earlier said. He said he decided not to
3:29
travel to route Solomon ei arisay may be
3:32
the true definition of the popular
3:34
saying that police is your friend if
3:36
only you are a good character police
3:38
officer. The former inspector general of
3:40
police Solomon Ahiji aris apparently
3:44
validated the afor statement to be true
3:47
when his death was announced on Sunday
3:49
August 31st 2025. The death sparked
3:53
uncommon good words of condolences from
3:55
many Nigerians. Unlike before, millions
3:58
of Nigerians make negative comments
4:00
against dead top government officials.
4:03
But in the case of ARS, millions of
4:05
Nigerians took to their social media
4:07
pages and comment sections to say good
4:10
things about the IGP that policed the
4:12
Nigeria states between April 2015 and
4:16
June 2016. Even human rights activists
4:19
that always talk negative about the
4:21
Nigeria police force like barrista
4:24
Adanju Deji was among the earliest
4:26
mourners on Sunday to be at the
4:28
residence of the late IGP to pay a
4:30
condolence visit with a tribute saying,
4:33
"May the soul of former IGP Solomon Aris
4:36
rest in peace. In my about 20 years of
4:39
knowing him, he helped us get freedom
4:42
for many student union leaders and
4:44
comrades who were unlawfully detained.
4:46
as IGP and after his retirement we
4:49
remained close and continued to seek his
4:51
help whenever citizens rights were
4:53
abused. We also observed that many
4:55
serving and retired police officers like
4:58
DCP Alumi were adjok to their personal
5:02
social media accounts to tell the world
5:04
how good Solomon Eijia aris was during
5:08
and after service. This a Nigerian
5:11
citizen by name Odatayo took to the
5:14
Nigeria Police Force Facebook comment
5:16
section and said, "Hope the current IGP
5:19
and all other AIGPS and DIGPS and all
5:23
Nigeria Police Force officers are online
5:25
and reading comments. Hopefully we would
5:28
get something like this to be written
5:30
for them too when their own time comes."
5:33
President Bola Tonubu in a statement
5:35
signed by the presidential spokesperson
5:38
Beo Onuga condol with the Nigeria Police
5:40
Force NPF over Solomon Ehiji to Aris CFR
5:46
the 18th indigenous inspector general of
5:48
police IGP who died on Sunday at 69.
5:52
President Tonubu commiserates with the
5:54
family, friends and associates of the
5:57
highly resourceful officer. Arisace
5:59
reforms as IGP and later as chairman of
6:02
the police service commission brought
6:04
lasting changes to the force. The
6:07
president acknowledges the dedication of
6:09
the former IGP to enhancing security in
6:12
the country through initiatives such as
6:14
the intelligence response team, the
6:16
complaint response unit and safer
6:18
highway patrols. Reflecting on Arisa's
6:21
lordable service to the country,
6:23
President Tonubu remarks, "Aris served
6:26
the police force meritoriously from 1981
6:31
During his career, he led tactical,
6:33
operational, and intelligence units,
6:36
including United Nations peacekeeping in
6:38
Namibia, the commissioner of police in
6:41
Aquar, and the principal staff officer
6:45
He was assistant inspector general of
6:47
police in charge of force intelligence
6:50
bureau FIB and deputy inspector general
6:53
of police force criminal investigation
6:56
department. After retirement, he
6:59
continued to serve management of Dangote
7:01
Group says they are saddened over the
7:03
death of Ruth Otto. The sister of Big
7:05
Brother Niger season 7 winner Euba Otbo
7:09
aka Fina saying they had concluded all
7:12
arrangements and made all necessary
7:14
efforts to fly the accident victim
7:16
abroad for the continuation of her
7:18
medical treatment. But the company was
7:20
waiting for her doctors to certify her
7:22
fit for air travel. The company owned by
7:25
Aliko Dangote, the Africa richest man,
7:28
according to Forbes, made the statement
7:30
in a press release issued few minutes
7:32
ago after the death of the new graduant
7:34
from Federal Polytenic in AI was
7:37
announced by her family through their
7:39
lawyer, Barrista Justice Shean Ojino of
7:41
Echo Solicitors and Advocates, saying
7:44
the graduate who was knocked down
7:46
alongside her motorcycle rider by a
7:48
truck owned by Dangote Group in AI
7:51
community earlier this month passed on
7:53
exactly 6:30 hours on Sunday. According
7:56
to Dangote Group, we are deeply saddened
7:59
by the passing of Ruth Otabore who was
8:01
injured in the recent road incident
8:03
involving one of our trucks in Achi, Edo
8:06
State. On behalf of the entire Dangote
8:09
Group, we extend our heartfelt
8:11
condolences to her family, friends, and
8:14
loved ones at this difficult time. Since
8:17
the accident, our officials and
8:19
insurance partners have been by her
8:21
side, covering all financial and medical
8:23
costs and supporting her family.
8:26
Arrangements had been made for her to be
8:28
flown to India for advanced treatment
8:30
pending medical clearance from her
8:32
doctors. Sadly, despite these efforts
8:35
and Ruth's brave fight to live, we lost
8:38
her today. At Dangote Group, safety,
8:41
accountability, and compassion remain at
8:44
the core of our operations. We remain
8:47
committed to strengthening our safety
8:49
systems and supporting those affected in
8:51
moments of tragedy. May God grant her
8:54
mercy and eternal rest. While announcing
8:56
the death of the accident victim, Ruth
8:59
Otabore, who has been trending on social
9:01
media space since the accident occurred,
9:04
the family lawyer said, "We remain
9:06
solicitors to Ruth Otabore, Josephine
9:08
Ottoore, whose moniker is Fina and the
9:11
Ottoore family and have their
9:13
instruction to inform the public of
9:15
this. With a heavy heart, the family
9:17
regrets to announce the passing on to
9:19
glory of their daughter, sister, mother
9:22
on this 31 day of August, 2025 at about
9:26
6:30 hours. The family is presently
9:30
grieving and will appreciate to be given
9:32
a private moment to mourn the departed.
9:34
The funeral arrangement will be
9:36
communicated to the public in due
9:38
course. Ruth's death comes just weeks
9:41
after a tragic accident on August 13th,
9:44
2025 near Achi Polytenic in Edo State
9:48
where she was struck by a truck owned by
9:49
the Dangote group. It was gathered that
9:52
the accident occurred barely 6 days
9:54
after Ruth celebrated of her becoming a
9:57
graduate from Aouchi Polytenic while
9:59
thereafter waiting for the academic
10:01
certificate to be awarded to her in
10:03
order to become a graduate of the
10:05
institution of higher learning. The
10:07
certificate may now be awarded to her
10:09
postuously. The sudden loss has left the
10:12
Otabore family and fans in deep mourning
10:14
with many expressing condolences for the
10:16
reality star and her loved ones. While
10:19
some have different views over the
10:20
events that unfolded between Fina and
10:23
Vid Darkman over the matter. The lady

who is a mother of two children
