VDM sparks fresh storm as new twists unfold in Mohbad death saga!
Controversial social media personality, Martins Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, has once again stirred up online debates following fresh claims that popular actress, Iyabo Ojo, and some other persons allegedly tried to frame singer and record label boss, Naira Marley, for the death of the late singer and his former signee, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
Last week, VDM claimed he had obtained access to a WhatsApp group named “Concerned Citizens” where conversations allegedly took place to “control the narrative” surrounding Mohbad’s death.
Paternity dispute and alleged leaks
In a series of video posts on social media, VDM claimed that members of the group disregarded Mohbad’s father because he kept demanding for a DNA test to confirm the paternity of Mohbad’s son, Liam.
VDM alleged that the test had been conducted in two hospitals, and those in the group chat were aware of the results. He further claimed that he paid over N20m to gain access to the private chat.
However, music producer, Samklef, who is a part of the group, refuted the payment claim. He was of the opinion that someone in the group leaked the chat to VDM.”
Iyabo Ojo accuses police of breach of privacy in cybercrime petition
During the week, Ojo filed a petition against officers of the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre, accusing them of misconduct.
She claimed that VDM was allowed into the same interrogation room with her when she was invited to the police station to meet with Naira Marley and Sam Larry, without her prior knowledge or consent.
According to her, this amounted to a breach of privacy and procedure, especially since she was a complainant and witness in the case. She added that sensitive details were leaked online, which afterwards jeopardised her safety and the credibility of the investigation.
She therefore requested for the case be transferred to Lagos for a “more neutral and transparent handling”.
Recall that VDM had earlier claimed online that while Ojo was at the station, she apologised to Marley and Larry for making unsubstantiated claims against them.
Meanwhile, a former Marlian member and one of the people she interviewed following Mohbad’s death, Mathew Aderoju, aka Dj Splash, made a video during the week in which he claimed that Ojo lied. According to him, he never told her that Naira Marley drugged her son.
