Controversial social media activist Martins Otse, better known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has expressed his disappointment with singer Naira Marley for choosing to forgive actress Iyabo Ojo despite her alleged defamatory comments made during the height of the Mohbad controversy.
In a video posted on his TikTok page, VDM disclosed that he had previously advised Naira Marley to pursue legal action against Iyabo for cyberbullying and defamation, especially given the damage her accusations allegedly caused to the singer’s image.
“I told Naira Marley to detain Iyabo Ojo but he said Allah will judge,” VDM explained.
“I told him to lose his cool the moment we enter the Police Commissioner’s office and say Iyabo Ojo’s defamatory remarks have ruined his career and tarnished his image. He said okay, but when he got there and Iyabo apologised in Yoruba, Naira Marley immediately forgave her. I almost died where I was sitting. I was so upset and disappointed.”
VDM also claimed that Naira Marley’s associate, Sam Larry, wasn’t pleased with the forgiveness either. According to him, Sam Larry tried to resist the apology and became emotional over Naira’s decision.
“When Sam Larry saw that Naira Marley had accepted Iyabo Ojo’s apology, he protested against it. I was signalling Naira Marley not to accept the apology because I know Iyabo Ojo won’t keep to her end of the agreement. Sam Larry shed tears,” he added.
It’s worth noting that Naira Marley and Sam Larry, both initially accused of involvement in Mohbad’s death, were cleared of any wrongdoing by a court four months ago.
