Self-acclaimed social media activist and influencer Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, has defended TikToker Peller over online criticism.
The content creator Peller was reportedly captured in a viral video, discouraging Nigerians from participating in the ongoing #30daysrantchallenge.
However, in defence of the popular TikToker, via a post on X (formerly Twitter) on March 26, VeryDarkMan recently weighed asking Nigerians to leave him alone.
According to VeryDarkMan, Peller should not be their focus but the politicians.
“You all want freedom but don't want people to express themselves freely. Leave Peller alone! He's not your politician,” he wrote.
