#BBNaijaS10: Bright’s Manager Vic Matt Dies Days After He was Kidnapped in Enugu

Tragedy has struck the Nigerian entertainment industry as Vic Matt, the manager and close associate of BBNaija Season 10 housemate Bright, has been confirmed dead just days after being kidnapped in Enugu State.

Vic Matt, whose real name is Victor Tobechukwu Okoli, was an executive producer and film director. Reports indicate he was abducted on Friday near Ntachi Osa, a popular location in Enugu, and was later found dead after being shot. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

The heartbreaking news was shared by filmmaker Ben Cassie on Instagram, who described Vic Matt as a rare figure of integrity in an industry often riddled with rivalry and betrayal.

In her emotional tribute, she wrote:

“It is hard for some of us to see those who genuinely wish us well.
You always dropped words of encouragement even when I was most silent.
In an industry of snakes and scorpions, you stood different. All you wanted was to make good films. You were cool, calm, and intelligent.
To be kidnapped and killed is a heart-wrenching way to leave this earth. For all the times you made me laugh and looked out for me, thank you.”

Her statement also reflected on her personal experiences with betrayal in the industry, urging peace and collaboration over conflict.

The news has sparked widespread grief among colleagues, fans, and fellow creatives, many of whom took to social media to mourn the loss of a man celebrated for his unwavering support of emerging talents.

People that praised Nnamdi Kanu, contributed huge money for him to buy weapons to fight Buhari are cursing APC for the insecurity they caused with their hands.

None of them ever call out the Enugu State governor but APC. Make una dey shift blame by the time no one can travel home again you will come together and tell yourself the truth.

I pray God comfort his family. South East happens to him.

We're all victims of this godforsaken government led by APC.

Nigeria has never been the same since APC through propaganda and false information ascended the leadership of this country.

The government is really failing in their primary responsibilities, to protect live and properties and praise singers are all over the media singing praises of a failed government.

Let us all keep silent and be saying 'it shall not be my portion', 'it is not the portion of me and my family', etc. Truth is all the victims before they became casualties once prayed such prayer.


I'll end by say "yesterday survivors are today's victims and today's survivors are tomorrow victims."

Kidnappers and similar criminals always claim “it was the devil’s doing.” They have years, sometimes decades, to change their ways. They never listen until time is too late. They then spend the little five or ten years on death row regretting their actions.

When kidnappers are killed during operations you hardly hear of their family or siblings. This is cos their family are supporting them and benefiting heavily. 3 days ago, 3 kidnappers were killed at point of collecting ransom that was tracked at aboh ogwash/ otulu, they were from same aniocha north, not Fulani. Same as those Killed at forest behind Ogwashi uku poly. I saw their corpses being taken to Ogwashi uku police station

Why are we still deceiving ourselves?

The very snake we fed, bred, and pampered has now grown into a monster and it is devouring us and we are pretending its just a teddy bear.

Each time tragedy strikes, evil online agenda pushers among us are quick to say “It’s Fulani!” But let’s be honest for once, was it Fulani that kidnapped him from Ntachi Ossa and killed him? Okwulora, my cousin, all the victims I know have come out to say its our boys that are doing this, yet, we keep lying to ourselves because we don't want to hear the bitter truth.

[b]Let’s face the truth and call a spade a spade. [/b]It is this so-called agitation, this reckless arming of our youths with evil mind, the arms that was released to them by Rochas Okorocha in 2021 is what has dragged our land into blood and fire. Until we admit it, condemn it collectively, and find a pragmatic, rational path forward, the killings will not stop it will get worst. Every day we delay, so many innocent soul are killed by this blood thirsty criminals that are up to no good in our forest claiming they are fighting for biafra and yet you are perpetuating evil against the same people u claim you want to liberate. This guys have no soul or conscience and are pure evil. Tomorrow, it could be you, your brother, your mother, or your relation.

My own cousin was kidnapped alongside a Reverend Father. This is a Reverend Father who once stood on the pulpit defending these same agitators and egging them on. They didn't care, as he was severely totured and sodomized and was stabbed and left for dead. Nobody is immune. Supporting them does not buy you safety. The same hand you clap for today may be the hand that snuffs out your life tomorrow.

I speak with pain. I lost an in-law in Ozubulu one of their strongest supporters 2 years ago. He was slaughtered in cold blood. And he wasn’t the only one. The list of deaths is endless, too many for me to recount.

And yet, we continue this dangerous pretense, shouting Fulani herdsmen even when Buhari, the man we thought we were spiting, is already gone.

How long will we lie to ourselves? How many more coffins before we wake up and call it by its name and take over our land?
