Reacting through a post on Instagram, VDM revealed that he had been mentally overwhelmed and unable to sleep for nearly five days.

He explained that the recurring killings involving herders and farmers, particularly in Jos and Benue, had deeply affected him.

According to the activist, he has been researching the root causes of the conflict, which has left him emotionally and mentally drained.

VDM further stated that the violence in Jos did not begin recently but has persisted for over a decade. He described it as a recurring cycle, where the same pattern repeats, violence erupts, citizens protest, service chiefs visit the affected areas, and life resumes without real solutions.
