Popular Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has responded strongly to allegations made by controversial social media critic, VeryDarkMan (real name Vincent Martins Otse), calling him manipulative and untrustworthy.
VeryDarkMan had earlier claimed that Iyabo Ojo backed out of an agreement to apologize to singer Naira Marley and socialite, Sam Larry, following a roundtable discussion facilitated by the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre (NCCC). He alleged that the meeting also included actress Tonto Dikeh, Naira Marley and Sam Larry, all with their legal teams present.
Reacting via her social media, Iyabo Ojo expressed her disappointment in VeryDarkMan’s narrative, suggesting that his video was a preemptive move after learning about a formal petition she had filed against him.
She said; “Verydarkman, I saw your video, and I know why you made those videos. I’m sure the NCCC has called to tell you that I’ve petitioned them, so you had to come out and do your normal manipulative tactics.”
“I am a very wise woman. I know when to fight, when to listen and when to speak, unlike you who speak from both sides of the mouth and people should stop taking you seriously.”
“I was invited by NCCC. I was on my way to Tanzania for Priscilla’s wedding and I saw the letter. I’ve never seen Naira Marley before. I just help promote his songs on my platform.”
“I saw a video of Naira Marley dancing after Mohbad’s death. I was angry.”
“I also saw Sam Larry’s video where he harassed Zlatan Ibile and Mohbad. That was when I believed the bullying allegations. As a concerned citizen and mother, I used my platforms.”
