A recent video posted by young Nigerian activist and social leader @VeryDarkMan has shed light on a disturbing incident involving a missing Benue State car dealer. The dealer, who had supplied nine cars to the Benue State Government, has allegedly gone missing after a cabinet member demanded a bribe to facilitate payment for the transaction.
According to @VeryDarkMan, the car dealer had delivered five of his own cars and four others from associate dealers to meet the government's demands. However, instead of receiving payment, the dealer was asked to pay a certain amount to a cabinet member to secure a meeting with the governor. This shocking revelation has sparked widespread outrage and calls for justice.
The situation took a darker turn when the state government collected ₦12 million as tax on the unpaid sum, leaving the dealer without compensation. @VeryDarkMan has since appealed to Governor Hyacinth Iormem Alia, a former priest, to intervene and ensure the dealer's safe release and payment.
This incident is not an isolated case in Benue State. There have been reports of similar injustices and violent attacks in the region. In May 2025, gunmen intercepted a commercial vehicle, killing two people and kidnapping four others. Additionally, there have been instances of herdsmen attacks, resulting in loss of life and property.
The disappearance of the Benue car dealer and the alleged bribe demanded by a cabinet member raise serious concerns about corruption and accountability within the state government. It is essential that Governor Alia takes immediate action to address these concerns and ensures that justice is served.
The people of Benue State deserve transparency and accountability from their leaders. The governor must demonstrate his commitment to upholding the law and protecting the rights of citizens. Anything less would be a betrayal of the trust placed in him.
@VeryDarkMan's video has sparked a wave of outrage and concern among Nigerians. It is crucial that we continue to shed light on this incident and demand justice for the missing car dealer. We must hold our leaders accountable for their actions and ensure that they prioritize the welfare and safety of citizens.
As we await the governor's response, we must remain vigilant and continue to push for transparency and accountability. The people of Benue State deserve nothing less.
