In a recent and highly controversial statement, media personality Very Dark Man has ignited outrage and condemnation with his response to the tragic death of a University of Port Harcourt student, Justina Tiffany.
The student, a 300-level biochemistry student, allegedly lost her life at the hands of her boyfriend, Collins, who is said to have brutally dismembered her.
Reports of the heinous act have shocked the public, with Justina’s remains found in her boyfriend’s apartment, sparking questions about the gruesome nature of the crime, including the removal of her eyes and breasts for alleged ritualistic purposes. Justina went missing three days after her birthday celebration on October 10, 2023.
Very Dark Man’s response to this tragedy has been met with significant controversy. In a video statement, he exhibited an alarming lack of empathy for Justina’s situation and seemed to offer a tacit justification for Collins’ actions. He raised the issue of societal pressures on men, suggesting that these pressures can lead some individuals to resort to illegal means to attain financial success. Furthermore, Very Dark Man brought up the societal expectations that compel women to be dependent on men rather than pursuing their own economic independence, indicating that Justina’s reliance on her boyfriend may have played a role in the tragic circumstances.
The media personality’s statement has incited a significant public outcry, with many vehemently condemning his apparent lack of empathy during such a sensitive time. However, he remains resolute in his controversial stance, refusing to backtrack on his words.
