If you thought the Wizkid drama was loud, wait until you see what happened when VeryDarkMan (VDM) went after popular “human rights activist” Harrison Gwamnishu (Behind Bars Initiative).
This one involves an actual kidnapping case, missing ransom money, a police arrest, and a bizarre “tracking chip strategy” excuse that Nigerians online are still dragging.

1. The Victims: The Segiru Couple
The controversy started around November 22, 2025, in Aviele community near Auchi (Edo State).
• A couple, Mr. and Mrs. Segiru, were reportedly kidnapped at gunpoint
• The family allegedly spent over 10 days collecting ₦20 million through selling property and borrowing.
• At the ransom drop, kidnappers claimed the money was incomplete and only released the pregnant wife, holding the husband for the “missing funds”.
VDM (Covered In Our Previous Post Thread - VDM Nigeria's #1 Professional Online Harasser) claimed that public denial of missing money could endanger the hostage if the kidnappers believed the family was bluffing.

2. Who is Harrison Gwamnishu?
Before all this, Harrison was widely respected:
• From Delta State
• Spent ~4 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit (discharged in 2015)
• Founder of Behind Bars Initiative, helping incarcerated youths with legal aid
• Served as SSA to the Delta State Governor until April 2025
• Known for “Safe City” rescue missions and using tech to track criminals
This reputation is why his initial defense was publicly believable to some.

3. The “Tracking Chip” Explanation
When the media and public pressured Harrison, he claimed that **₦5.4 million** was removed *not to steal it*, but to replace it with “notes embedded with tracking chips”.
This was supposed to help law enforcement track the kidnappers.
Online observers, especially VDM, weren’t buying it.
VDM ridiculed the idea, pointing out:
He also argued that the money was only returned after Harrison was arrested, suggesting **embezzlement**.

4. The Fallout
Eventually, Harrison issued a public apology in January 2026, admitting he wasn’t fully “accountable” with resources.
This admission has been used by critics as evidence that his tracking chip explanation was a cover story.
