Popular social media activist and influencer, VeryDarkMan, drew a significant crowd in Ibadan on Tuesday as he led the “Bandits Must Go” campaign, a movement aimed at raising awareness about insecurity, kidnapping, and violent crimes across the country.

The protest attracted residents, youths, and supporters who joined the activist in a public demonstration calling for stronger action against criminal activities threatening communities.

Videos and eyewitness accounts shared on social media showed large numbers of participants marching through parts of the Oyo State capital while chanting slogans demanding an end to banditry, kidnapping, and terrorism.

The protesters repeatedly echoed calls of “Bandits must go! Kidnappers must go! Terrorists must go!” as they moved through major roads and public areas.

The demonstration was part of a broader campaign focused on drawing attention to growing security concerns and advocating for improved protection of lives and property.

Participants carried placards and banners expressing frustration over the continued threat posed by armed criminal groups in different parts of the country.

Many of those present described the rally as a peaceful effort to amplify public concerns and encourage authorities to intensify efforts against insecurity.

The campaign has gained attention on social media, where supporters have praised the initiative as a platform for citizens to express their concerns over safety and security challenges.

VeryDarkMan, known for his outspoken views on social and national issues, has increasingly used his platform to advocate for accountability and public engagement on matters affecting ordinary Nigerians.

The Ibadan rally adds to a growing number of citizen-led campaigns aimed at drawing attention to insecurity and encouraging collective action in addressing the problem.

As videos from the event continue to circulate online, the protest has sparked conversations among Nigerians about the need for sustained efforts to tackle banditry, kidnapping, and other security threats across the country.

Observers say the large turnout reflects widespread public concern over insecurity and the desire for practical solutions to restore peace in affected communities.
