Atu Terver, who serves as Principal Special Assistant on Youth and Media Mobilization to Benue State Governor, Hyacinth Alia, has dismissed fresh claims raised by social media activist, Martin Vincent Otse, better known as VeryDarkMan (VDM).
In a Facebook video released on Friday, the 26th of September, 2025, VDM alleged that a car dealer disappeared after a N1.2 billion business transaction with the Benue State Government.
The activist claimed the state acquired nine vehicles valued at N1.2 billion from the dealer but defaulted on payment.
“To the executive governor of Benue State, the car dealer your government is owing 1.2 billion naira for 9 vehicles your government collected seems to have gone missing.
“The last time we spoke he told me that one of your cabinet members called him for a meeting in a hotel in Abuja.
“Rev Fr Alia, if he is in your custody, please release him. What is his crime”, VDM wrote as a caption of a viral video on his Facebook page.
Responding in the comment section of the post, Atu, also referred to as Krayzeetee, rejected the suggestion that the governor had anything to do with the matter, stressing that Alia could not “stoop as low as abducting someone”.
He stated, “A lot of things here don’t actually add up but it’s dragging a governor so a lot of people won’t think like me.

“You said a cabinet member called him, the cabinet member doesn’t have a name? What about the number he used in calling?
“The other day you said other people in government were telling him to pay money without even mentioning any name.
“I think you need to learn a lot from Ahmed Isah of the Berekete family. If this case was reported to him, he would have at least made efforts to contact the governor but no. As long as it will give your traffic and make a lot of people comment against the governor, you are good to go.
“Governor Alia is a man of God and can’t stoop as low as abducting someone. In fighting for justice, you always contact both parties before acting.
“I just say let me advise you. Na followers you get you no be God”.
