Story Highlights
Nigerian social critic Martins Vincent Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, has publicly criticized actress Ruth Kadiri and influencer Rita4Delta for backing Harrison Gwamnishu. In a video released in January 2026, VDM mocked Kadiri for deleting a December 6 post of support after fraud allegations gained traction, accusing the entertainment industry of enabling bad behavior among friends.
The self-proclaimed Ratel King has turned his sights on the Nigerian entertainment industry with a fresh wave of criticism. Martins Vincent Otse released a scathing video calling out top celebrities for their initial support of embattled activist Harrison Gwamnishu.
He specifically targeted Nollywood actress Ruth Kadiri and social media figure Rita4Delta. Otse argues that these public figures only withdrew their support after undeniable evidence surfaced, rather than standing for truth from the beginning.
The Deleted Post Controversy
The drama centers on a specific Instagram post made by Kadiri on December 6, 2025. VDM pointed out that the actress publicly praised Harrison just as legal troubles began to mount.
Otse noted that she deleted the post immediately after public opinion shifted against the activist. He described this move as a desperate attempt to save face, stating that “the internet remembers” regardless of deleted content.
This confrontation comes just days after VeryDarkMan releases phone call exposing Harrison Gwamnishu over disputed refund, which significantly altered the public narrative.
Otse insists that supporters like Kadiri looked “stupid” for blindly backing someone without reviewing the facts first.
Accusations of Double Standards
The critic expanded his attack to include other influencers like Rita4Delta. He expressed personal disappointment in her stance, claiming she ignored serious safety and fraud concerns because of personal relationships.
VDM believes influencers demand transparency from government officials but refuse to apply the same standards to their colleagues. This double standard, according to him, damages their credibility when the full truth emerges.
He further alleged that the initial support was an attempt to silence his investigation, claiming that VeryDarkMan claims Harrison Gwamnishu edited videos to hide fraud.
Otse argues that celebrities often band together to protect their own, even when the evidence of wrongdoing is clear.
The Ratel Movement’s Stance
Otse reaffirmed that his platform serves as a “fourth arm of government” designed to expose rot. The activist insisted that he does not care about industry alliances or friendships when investigating wrongdoing.
He concluded that the “Ratel Movement” will continue to preserve receipts and hold everyone accountable, regardless of their social status.
Meanwhile, the accused activist has tried to defend his position, as Harrison Gwamnishu explains refusal to refund ₦600,000 donation amid medical rescue dispute.
