A fresh wave of allegations has surfaced on social media regarding popular activist Harrison Gwamnishu, as Nigerians continue to debate the circumstances surrounding his recent arrest.
The claims—credited to Obinna Aligwekwe, who published them publicly—outline a long list of alleged past misconducts said to have followed Harrison for years.
Below is a summary of the allegations as posted by Obinna Aligwekwe:
1. Alleged Involvement in Armed Robbery Case
According to the post, Harrison reportedly spent four years in prison after he was accused of sending armed robbers to attack his employer.
One of the arrested robbers allegedly identified him as a member of the gang, and a firearm was reportedly recovered from his home during investigation.
2. Alleged Fraud Within an NGO
The post alleges that Harrison and his then-partner, Tom Ochada, jointly operated an NGO while in custody.
It is claimed that Harrison manipulated access to the organization’s financial monitoring system after becoming involved with the officer managing the account.
The EFCC reportedly shut the account after millions allegedly went missing.
3. Alleged Diversion of ₦10 Million Compensation Payment
Another allegation states that the Delta State Government paid ₦10 million to Harrison to settle the controversial death of one Amaka Ohanaja.
Of that money, ₦5 million was allegedly meant for the family—but, according to the post, they never received it.
4. Alleged Fake Kidney Failure Fundraiser
The post further claims Harrison raised ₦7 million from members of the public after announcing he had kidney failure and required a transplant abroad.
It is alleged that the diagnosis was later found to be false.
5. Alleged Conversion of a Client’s Car
The writer also alleges that Harrison secured the release of a suspected internet fraudster who then temporarily gave Harrison his car for mobility.
According to the claim, Harrison reportedly altered documents and converted the car to his own.
6. Alleged Impersonation of a Lawyer
Another allegation states that Harrison frequently posed as a lawyer, collecting bail money from unsuspecting victims despite having no legal qualification.
7. Alleged Failure to Recover Money for a Client
A man identified as Franklin Ifeanyi Nnaji reportedly paid Harrison ₦6 million after being promised assistance to recover ₦15 million from land speculators.
The money was allegedly collected without results.
8. Alleged Diversion of Funds Meant for a Kidney Patient
The post claims Harrison raised ₦5 million for a kidney patient named Kingsley Orji, yet never remitted the money to him.
The alleged victim was said to be too traumatised to speak further.
9. Alleged Role in “Anioma Garri” Ponzi Scheme
Finally, the writer accuses Harrison of scamming several people while promoting Anioma Garri, a scheme described as a Ponzi operation targeting unsuspecting investors.
“These Are Only the Known Cases” — Aligwekwe
The author of the viral post insists that more victims exist but are either unwilling or afraid to come forward.
He concludes by questioning the narrative that Harrison may have diverted ransom funds for the purpose of “planting a chip,” calling such a defence “illogical.”
According to him, anyone defending Harrison at this point either “lacks sense” or shares “a criminal mindset.”
Public Reaction: Is VDM Right After All?
The renewed circulation of these allegations has intensified the already heated debate involving social commentator VeryDarkMan (VDM), who earlier insisted he was right about Harrison’s activities.
Nigerians online remain sharply divided—some arguing that Harrison has a documented pattern of questionable behaviour, while others insist that many of the allegations are recycled, unverified, or politically motivated.
As at press time, Harrison Gwamnishu has not issued a detailed public response to the new wave of accusations.
