Arewa Youths President Makes U-Turn, Backs VeryDarkman After Ultimatum
Abdul DanBature, the self-styled president of the Arewa Youths, has made a surprising about-face, calling for the release of controversial online activist VeryDarkman, just weeks after publicly threatening him with an ultimatum.
DanBature had earlier demanded that VeryDarkman apologize to the Sultan of Sokoto or face consequences. But following the activist’s recent arrest, DanBature now appears to be singing a different tune.
In a fresh video circulating online, the youth leader appealed to security agencies to free VeryDarkman, urging Nigerian youths to unite in moments of crisis.

“I want to appeal to security agencies for the release of VeryDarkman. Anytime a youth leader gets into trouble, we must stand by them. We need to come together as Nigerian youths and support one another,” he said.
DanBature went further to claim that VeryDarkman, despite his controversial nature, had consistently supported northern youths. “He is one of us. In fact, he’s a northerner—he was born and raised here.”
