The clip shared by Verydarkman begins with him speaking with his father on the phone, who instructed him to visit a particular shrine and river in his village before leaving. According to VDM, his father stated that if he failed to visit the aforementioned places, something bad might happen to him.
Subsequently, Verydarkman stormed the shrine, where he made some prayers of protection before heading to the river, where he bathed with the water and said some prayers as well.
Accompanied by many, Verydarkman also visited Otse Primary School, which happens to be named after his family.
The activist requested a machete, which he used to clear the grass around the signboard to make it more visible. He also posed for some photos with his extended relatives.
Sharing the video, he wrote:
“As I was leaving my village (AGENEBODE), my father called me and told me I cannot leave the village just like that; else, something evil might happen to me… never knew who I was.”
