Well-known human rights activist and a humanitarian, Martins's Vincent Dots, aka Varie Darkman, has apparently
1:07
threatened the media, especially those he referred to as bloggers, not to use his video contents on their page. And if
1:14
they do, he would report the video to the management of social media platforms
1:19
like YouTube, Facebook, Tik Tok among other online platforms. the video or
1:24
videos were published and ensured the video or videos are brought down or removed. He stated this on Tuesday noon
1:31
in a 9 minutes video wherein he accused the media especially those he referred to as bloggers of not joining hands with
1:38
him and others to launch massive campaign and awareness when Ruth Otabore was alive. the sister of the Big Brother
1:44
Nigeria season 7 winner Ejuma Otto aka Fina who allegedly needed more attention
1:50
and care from Dangote group of company owned by Africa richest man Aliko Dangote whose truck hit Ruth Otabore few
1:58
days after the accident victim Ruth Otabbor rounded off her examinations as a final year student of federal
2:05
polytenic in authon after the death of the accident victim
2:11
was announced on Sunday bloggers started publishing the news stories massively continuing Vid Darkman accused Fina of
2:18
being a greedy person saying Fina wrote a demand list of 1 billion naira to
2:23
Dangote even when she has not visited her sister in the hospital to know the
2:29
true picture of her condition in a swift reaction a well-known sex educator who
2:34
uses raw words to pass across her teachings aka queen condemned the act of varman's
2:42
saying it was the alleged greed of Fina that killed her sister. With Ekia Queen accusing Vidman of being a liar who is
2:49
trying to cause more pains to the bereieved Fina even when he knows her sister just died less than 48 hours ago.
2:57
Earlier before today, when the accident victim Ruth Otbbor was still alive, Vid
3:02
Darkman published a video narrating how Fina allegedly betrayed him when Dangote group invited her for possible
3:08
settlement. After Verid Darkman and many others in the society took to their social media page to campaign and
3:14
protest over the Dangote truck accident reportedly leading to immediate amputation of the two legs of the female
3:21
victim Ruth Otabore Vidman said when Fina got the attention of Dangote group.
3:28
Fina sent a message to him that the Dangote group requested that they don't want him Vid Darkman in the discussion.
3:35
an action Vid Darkman considered to be that Fina was the one that betrayed him apparently because of money. It is yet
3:41
to be ascertained if truly the Dangote group rejected Vid Darkman in the discussion. But if the claim is
3:48
confirmed to be true, we believe the Dangote group may have rejected Vid Darkman because Vid Darkman apparently
3:54
insulted the person and the personality of Aliko Dangote, the founder of the Dangote group, while he was protesting
4:01
over the accident. In the 9-minute video on Tuesday, Vidogman withdrew his
4:06
earlier statement and a threat he had issued that if anything happened to Fina's sister, he would travel to Aouchi
4:13
and ensure Dangote operations were shut down in Achi. He said on Tuesday that he
4:18
would no longer travel to Aouchi because of FINA's sister. Adding that if Dangote
4:24
truck hit another person, he would do what he had earlier said. He said he decided not to travel to Rouchi to keep
4:30
to his words so that people will not accuse him of creating contents for the purpose of making money on social media.
4:38
Indirectly, Vid Darkman was apparently referring to Ekia Queen who had accused and described Vid Darkman as a mere
4:45
contents creator who she also accused of being a manipulator. Ekia Queen called
4:50
out Vid Darkman with a sustained day and night social media campaign, describing
4:56
Vid Darkman as a mere content creator after she accused Vid Darkman of requesting YouTube to remove her video.
5:03
Allegation Vid Darkman did not deny. Vid Aman said she was the one that violated
5:08
the copyright law by using his video. But Heekia Queen said the video was a
5:14
meaningfully enhanced video content which she did voice over in reaction to the statements made by Vid Darkman in
5:20
the video. Reacting to the Vid Darkman statement against Fina on Tuesday in a
5:26
5-minute video, Hecia Queen said that one should pray that someone whose words are widely accepted in the society
5:32
should not tell lies against you. away and Mana Verid Darkman on Tuesday took to his social media page to allegedly
5:39
tell lies against Fina. According to Ekia Queen, the situation Fina found
5:44
herself, anybody would definitely demand money as compensation in order for the family to be able to take care of their
5:52
sister. Hence, she described the Veridman statement as emotional blackmail made with intent to cause more
5:58
pains to Fina even when Fina is still in the period of mourning. We have reported
6:03
that the management of Dangote group says they are saddened over the death of Ruth Otabore, the sister of Big Brother
6:10
Niger season 7 winner Emer Fina, saying they had concluded all
6:16
arrangements and made all necessary efforts to fly the accident victim abroad for the continuation of her
6:22
medical treatment. But the company was waiting for her doctors to certify her fit for air travel. The company owned by
6:29
Aliko Dangote, the Africa richest man. according to Forbes made the statement in a press release issued few minutes
6:36
ago after the death of the new graduant from federal polytenic ini was announced
6:41
by her family through their lawyer barrista justice sheen Ojino of echo solicitors and advocates saying the
6:49
graduant who was knocked down alongside her motorcycle rider by a truck owned by Dangote group in ai community earlier
6:56
this month passed on exactly 6:30 hours on Sunday. All right. So boys coming

one after the other. bringing you the news in a more digital
22:46
way. Solomon ei arisay may be the true definition of the popular saying that
22:52
police is your friend. If only you are a good character police officer, the former inspector general of police
22:58
Solomon Ehiji Aris apparently validated the afor statement to be true when his
23:05
death was announced on Sunday August 31st 2025. The death sparked uncommon
23:11
good words of condolences from many Nigerians. Unlike before, millions of
23:16
Nigerians make negative comments against dead top government officials. But in the case of Aris, millions of Nigerians
23:23
took to their social media pages and comment sections to say good things about the IGP that policed the Nigeria
23:30
states between April 2015 and June 2016. Even human rights activists that always
23:37
talk negative about the Nigeria police force like barrista Adanju Deji was
23:43
among the earliest mourers on Sunday to be at the residence of the late IGP to pay a condolence visit with a tribute
23:50
saying, "May the soul of former IGP Solomon Aris rest in peace. In my about
23:56
20 years of knowing him, he helped us get freedom for many student union leaders and comrades who were unlawfully
24:02
detained. As IGP and after his retirement, we remained close and continued to seek his help whenever
24:09
citizens rights were abused. We also observed that many serving and retired police officers like DCP Alumi were
24:17
adjok to their personal social media accounts to tell the world how good
24:22
Solomon Eijia aris was during and after service. This a Nigerian citizen by name
24:29
Oluassian Odayo took to the Nigeria police force Facebook comment section
24:34
and said hope the current IGP and all other AIGPS and DIGPS and all Nigeria
24:41
police force officers are online and reading comments. Hopefully we would get something like this to be written for
24:47
them too when their own time comes. President Bola Tonubu in a statement
24:52
signed by the presidential spokesperson Beao Onanuga condol with the Nigeria
24:57
Police Force NPF over Solomon Ehiji to aris CFR the 18th indigenous inspector
25:05
general of police IGP who died on Sunday at 69. President Tonubu commiserates
25:11
with the family, friends and associates of the highly resourceful officer. Harris reforms as IGP and later as
25:19
chairman of the police service commission brought lasting changes to the force. The president acknowledges
25:25
the dedication of the former IGP to enhancing security in the country through initiatives such as the
25:31
intelligence response team, the complaint response unit and safer highway patrols. Reflecting on Arisa's
25:39
laudable service to the country, President Tonubu remarks, "Aris served the police force meritoriously from 1981
25:46
to 2016. During his career, he led tactical, operational, and intelligence units,
25:53
including United Nations peacekeeping in Namibia, the commissioner of police in Aquaram, and the principal staff officer
26:01
to three IGPS. He was assistant inspector general of police in charge of force intelligence
26:07
bureau FIB and deputy inspector general of police force criminal investigation
26:13
department. After retirement, he continued to serve the nation in various
26:18
public roles including as chairman of the police service commission and as head of the task force on implementing
26:24
the Edeto state anti-comm community development association law. His expertise extended to consultancy roles
26:31
with the office of the national security advisor on NSA, the European Center for
26:37
Electoral Support, the Human Rights Center at the University of Oslo, and as a member of the Committee on Prevention
26:43
of Torture in Geneva, Switzerland. I pray for the peaceful repose of the soul
26:49
of this dedicated security expert whose experience and contributions will be deeply missed by our nation. Meanwhile,
26:57
the Nigeria Police Force has opened a condolence register at the force headquarters, Abuja, for the revered
27:04
former police chief as senior officers and staff pay their respects. In honor
27:09
of his memory, the police flag will fly at half mast in all commands and formations nationwide, according to the
27:16
Nigeria Police Authority. In a statement issued on Sunday, the Nigeria Police
27:22
Force says it's deeply saddened to announce the passing of the 18th Indigenous Inspector General of Police

27:54
communicated to IGP Care Eggbeen through his first son Mr. Solomon Oboian Aras
28:02
Junior on Sunday. IGP Solomon Aris born on the 21st of June 1956 in Owen West
28:10

28:22
Benin, a master's degree in law from the University of Lagos and a PhD in public
28:28
law from the Ambrose Ali University at Poma Edo State. He was enlisted into the
28:34
Nigeria Police Force on the 1st of December 1981.
28:39
During the course of his illustrious policing career, IGP aris served in various capacities including principal
28:46
staff officer PSO to three IGPS between 2002 and 2008. Commissioner of police in
28:54

respectively. He was appointed the 18th indigenous inspector general of police
29:11
in April 2015 and retired on the 21st of June 2016.
29:16
He was thereafter appointed the chairman police service commission on the 24th of January 2023 by late president Muhammadu
29:24
Buuhari, a post which he held until the 10th of June 2024.
29:30
He is also a fellow of the defense college and a member of the prestigious body of benches. During his tenure as
29:36
the inspector general of police, he introduced major initiatives for the reform and improvement of the force such
29:43
as the complaint response unit for swift responses to public complaints and adequate protection of citizens rights.
29:50
IGP ARSA exemplified the highest standards of professionalism, bravery,
29:55
and leadership. While his contributions to national security and police reform continue to resonate within the force
30:02
and beyond, his passing is not just the culmination of a remarkable chapter, but
30:07
a moment of collective mourning of a man who served with pride and honor. Through the Solomon Ehiji Arisa Foundation,
30:15
SEAF, he supported academic excellence by awarding scholarships to outstanding
30:20
Nigerian students with particular focus on children of deceased police officers and indigent students. The inspector
30:28
general of police IGP Care Adolu Egen PhD NPM while paying condolence visit to
30:36
the family of the deceased IGP in Abuja today extended heartfelt condolences on
30:42
behalf of officers and men of the Nigeria police force to the family friends and former colleagues of the
30:49
late IGP aris. IGP Kyod Eggbeen acknowledges the deep pain of this loss
30:55
and prays for comfort, strength and peace for all in this time of grief while appreciating the contributions of
31:02
the late police boss to police reforms and national security. The memory of
31:07
late IGP Aris will forever remain edged in the heart of the force and the country he so faithfully served. May his
31:14
soul rest in perfect peace. signed DCP alumiwa adajabi the force public
31:21
relations officer for the inspector general of police on the 31st of August 2025.
31:27
Former Edeto state governor Godwin Obaseeki in a statement on Sunday said I
31:33
received with shock the news of the passing of our illustrious son elder statesman and patriot Dr. Solomon Aaris.
31:41
His demise is a monumental loss not only to his immediate family but to Edo state
31:46
and the entire nation. Dr. Arisa etched his name in history as the first Edo son
31:52
to ascend to the exalted office of inspector general of police. He bore the distinction with uncommon dignity and in
31:59
that high office he served Nigeria with integrity, courage and exemplary professionalism. His career was a legacy
32:06
of discipline, excellence, and the highest ideals of public service. In
32:12
retirement, he did not retreat from service. With a deep sense of duty to his people, he continued to lend his
32:19
wisdom and experience. I had the privilege of working closely with him when, as governor, I appointed him to
32:26
chair the Edeto State Private Property Protection Committee, ESPPPC.
32:31
In that role, he confronted the decadesl long menace of land grabbing with firmness and fairness, restoring order,
32:38
sanity, and justice to our communities. Dr. Aris was much more than a public
32:44
servant. He was a man of deep humanity, humble yet brilliant, firm yet compassionate, a leader whose life
32:51
reflected his abiding belief in justice and the common good. His passing leaves a void that will be deeply felt across
32:58
the nation. I extend heartfelt condolences to the Aris family, his
33:03
friends, colleagues, the Nigeria Police Force, and indeed all Nigerians.
33:09
May the Almighty grant us all the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss, and may his soul find eternal rest.
33:16
Aquar state governor pastor Yumoino said, "Yesterday, I received with shock
33:22
and sadness the news of the passing of former inspector general of police Solomon Aris CFR. On behalf of the
33:30
government and people of Aqua Ibomb State, I extend my deepest condolences to his family, the Nigeria Police Force,
33:37
friends and associates. The late IGP Aris served our nation with distinction
33:43
as the 18th inspector general of police where he introduced critical reforms in intelligence gathering and crime
33:49
prevention. He also served Aqua Ibomb as commissioner of police with passion and
33:54
contributed to the peace and security we enjoy today. Even in retirement as
34:00
chairman of the police service commission, he continued to serve our nation with commitment. May his soul
34:06
rest in peace. there must be consequences for crime. Yes. So your word of advice to these young people,
34:12
I want to appeal to the young ones out there that um you see when when you
34:17
allow yourself to be used to for the actualization of other
34:24
people's dreams in such a negative way. Uh you are doing a very big disservice to yourself and to the country. Violence
34:31
is not a panacea to you know problems. Yeah. All of us will have problems.
34:38
you know and we all try to struggle to make sure that you know we we are able to live in. So I want to appeal to all
34:46
the young men there. Uh whenever these guys they call you out to come and you
34:52
know become destructive. You should also think that they have most of their children in the Ivy League schools you
34:58
know who are out there you know doing their own thing too. So don't uh don't allow yourself to be used. Uh there's
35:04
always many tomorrow.
35:16
bringing you the news in a more digital way. Management of Dangote Group says they
35:22
are saddened over the death of Ruth Ot. sister of Big Brother Niger season 7 winner Euba Otto aka Fina saying they
35:31
had concluded all arrangements and made all necessary efforts to fly the accident victim abroad for the
35:37
continuation of her medical treatment but the company was waiting for her doctors to certify her fit for air
35:43
travel. The company owned by Aliko Dangote, the Africa richest man, according to Forbes, made the statement
35:50
in a press release issued few minutes ago after the death of the new graduant from federal polytenic ini was announced
35:57
by her family through their lawyer, Barrista Justice Shean Ojino of Echo Solicitors and Advocates, saying the
36:05
graduate who was knocked down alongside her motorcycle rider by a truck owned by Dangote Group in Achi community earlier
36:12
this month passed on exactly 6:30 hours on Sunday. According to Dangote Group,
36:18
we are deeply saddened by the passing of Ruth Otabore who was injured in the recent road incident involving one of
36:24
our trucks in Achi Edeto state. On behalf of the entire Dangote group, we
36:30
extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and loved ones at this
36:35
difficult time. Since the accident, our officials and insurance partners have
36:40
been by her side, covering all financial and medical costs and supporting her family. Arrangements had been made for
36:48
her to be flown to India for advanced treatment pending medical clearance from her doctors. Sadly, despite these
36:55
efforts and Ruth's brave fight to live, we lost her today. At Dangote Group,
37:01
safety, accountability, and compassion remain at the core of our operations. We
37:07
remain committed to strengthening our safety systems and supporting those affected in moments of tragedy. May God
37:13
grant her mercy and eternal rest. While announcing the death of the accident victim, Ruth Otabbor, who has been
37:20
trending on social media space since the accident occurred, the family lawyer said, "We remain solicitors to Ruth
37:27
Otbbor, Josephine Ottoore, whose moniker is Fina, and the Ottoore family, and
37:32
have their instruction to inform the public of this." With a heavy heart, the family regrets to announce the passing
37:39
on to glory of their daughter, sister, mother on this 31 day of August, 2025 at
37:46
about 6:30 hours. The family is presently grieving and will appreciate to be given a private moment to mourn
37:53
the departed. The funeral arrangement will be communicated to the public in due course. Ruth's death comes just
38:01
weeks after a tragic accident on August 13th, 2025. near Achi Polytenic in Edo
38:07
State where she was struck by a truck owned by the Dangote group. It was gathered that the accident occurred
38:13
barely 6 days after Ruth celebrated of her becoming a graduate from Aouchi Polytenic while thereafter waiting for
38:20
the academic certificate to be awarded to her in order to become a graduate of the institution of higher learning. The
38:27
certificate may now be awarded to her postuously. The sudden loss has left the Otabore family and fans in deep mourning
38:35
with many expressing condolences for the reality star and her loved ones. While some have different views over the
38:41
events that unfolded between Fina and Verid Darkman over the matter. The lady who is a mother of two children
38:47
underwent a leg amputation after being hit by a truck owned by the Dangote group near Arouchi Polytenic, Pedo State
38:55
on Wednesday, August 13th, 2025. Eyewitnesses said the heavyduty truck
39:00
crushed her leg before it was eventually stopped by a bystander. Reacting,
39:06
founder of Sahare reporters news media, Amigle Saware said the lady's life was
39:11
cut short by the irresponsible corporate conduct of Dangote truck drivers. In
39:16
statement issued few minutes after the death announcement, Sare said, "A sad
39:21
moment has struck. A beautiful life has been cut short by the cutthroat and
39:27
irresponsible corporate conduct of Dangote truck drivers. BBNA's Fina has
39:32
announced the passing of her sister Ruth Otabore. I commiserate deeply with Fina
39:38
and the entire Ottoore family over this tragic loss of a brilliant graduate whose future was stolen by the
39:44
recklessness of a Dangote truck driver. This death was not inevitable. It could
39:49
have been prevented. It could have been avoided if drivers were properly trained, if Nigeria's terrible roads
39:56
were fixed, and if after the accident there had been timely and humane intervention. Instead, another family is
40:03
left grieving, another young life wasted, and another reminder is written in blood that Nigeria continues to fail
40:10
its people while powerful corporations escape accountability. May Ruth's soul rest in peace, and may
40:16
her death strengthen the call for justice.
40:22
my roots by I
40:30
really affect my commion
40:41
for you
40:47
beg. Thank you.
40:54
