Nigerian social media influencer and activist, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has arrived Anambra State for the proposed candlelight procession for Awka-based fish dealer, Mr. Ifesinachi Onyekere, CEO, Fish Magnet who was recently kidnapped and murdered by unknown gunmen in the state.

Recall that the prominent fish dealer and Managing Director of Fish Magnet Outlet, was abducted at his residence in Ezinifite village, Okpuno in the wee hours on Sunday, July 27. He was reportedly trailed by the assailants who, during the violent invasion, shot him in the leg and forcefully whisked him away to an unknown destination, a journey he never returned alive.

The unfortunate incident and gruesome murder of Fish Magnet, who was an only son to a political stateswoman has attracted condemnation from good-spirited individuals and socialites, including VeryDarkMan, who declared publicly to mourn his demise and announced plans to organize a candlelight procession for him in Anambra.

The social activist announced his arrival in a video shared through his social media handles.

Earlier, he said the candlelight procession would not hold on Monday due to Sit-at-Home.

Information reaching us says the candlelight procession will hold by 3pm tomorrow being 5th of August.

The starting point of the movement will be the popular Ekwueme Square as all will march through to Fish Magnet office Headquarters located around Ring Road, Agu-Awka. The colour for the day is all blacks.


VDM called for the cooperation of the Anambra State Police Command by providing security during and throughout the procession, which is expected to attract a large turnout of mourners, fans, friends, and activists.


His words: “I’m in Anambra State because of the candlelight I spoke about for Fish Magnet, who is my namesake, Martins. Sadly, he was a victim of bad leadership in Nigeria, insecurity that have been constantly overlooked by our government. Fish Magnet was a victim of kidnappers who kidnapped him at the front of his workplace and then he was later shot and he didn’t come back alive.


“So we are going to do a candlelight for him, not just that, it’s to also raise awareness on the insecurity issues that is happening in Anambra, not just Anambra State, every part of the East and the whole part of Nigeria,” he said.
