Controversial Nigerian content creator, Very Dark Man, has been summoned by the Nigeria Police Force over the alleged cyberbullying of Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh, it is believed.
Very Dark Man made this known in a video shared online where he raised concern about his safety as he walked into the Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department in Abuja.
He said, “I am about to enter FCID, Area 10 over the invite that was sent to me. And just in case you don’t see me online later, make you know now where I enter.
“You understand, you know, the last time because of the dates and how they set up the dates, I suspected something fishy and now I’m going in there. However, they no tell me who personally filed a report. They say nah cyberbullying, cyberstalking
“I know I’ve never sent anybody an e-mail. I’ve never DM’d anybody to say anything harsh or say anything negative to the person, so I don’t know where they’re getting that idea. For me, I’m suspecting something. I feel like I’m not safe in it. But then again, to the person that sent (the complaints), I hope you understand that they’ll find out who you are. You understand they will, definitely. Who you are, you understand, so whatever plan you get, I don tell una. If una no see me, go and ask them.”
“And if you touch me, I come outside and talk. If they threatened me, If I come outside, I go talk. Anything wey dem do, If I come outside, I go talk, they sha no go fit pai (kill) me.”
The social media influencer went on to say that he would never apologise publicly to anyone if the police ordered him to, even if it meant spending extra time in custody.
He continued: “Like I said, if nah all those thing wey dey go make person con apologize online, I no dey apologise to anybody. I go rather stay inside there for 10 years, knowing fully well that I did not say anything to anybody.
“All the things I’ve said online is based on public importance or public awareness. You understand, I’ve never gone out of my way to start picking one person and start bashing. Everything I’ve said online is based on public awareness. Down to skin care, down to everything. I’ve said is based on public awareness and even down to the whole Mohbad things.
“It is because they’re trying to like lynch people, they were all scattered. They didn’t want to report it to the police. I said they should go to the police. They wanted to take law into their hands.”
A check on Tonto Dikeh’s Instagram status showed that the actress was likely behind the petition which landed Very Dark Man in police station.
“When a child thinks he is grown enough to talk to elders you never engage, just act,” the actress captioned a picture displaying the moment Very Dark Man was at the police station.
The issue may be connected to comments made by him in November 2023 about the late singer, Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.
Very Dark Man had lambasted Tonto Dikeh and others who called on the Nigerian police to release the body of the late singer for a befitting burial.
He said that Mohbad’s body could not be released for burial until the police had completed their interrogation.
It may also be connected to the alleged cyberbullying of Mohbad’s wife.
In December 2023, Wunmi, the wife of Mohbad, accused her father-in-law, Mr Aloba of threatening to kill her and her eight-month-old son, Liam through Very Dark Man and others based in South Africa and Nigeria
