Nedu Wazobia vs. VeryDarkMan: Defamation Case Sparks Social Media Debate

Popular media personality Nedu Wazobia has issued a pre-action notice against social media critic VeryDarkMan, following allegedly defamatory statements made in a video shared online.

According to Nedu’s legal representatives, a 12-minute video uploaded by VeryDarkMan on February 19, 2025, accused the broadcaster of diverting an NGO scholarship meant for Nigerians. The lawyers described the video as false, defamatory, and damaging to both Nedu and Tokindrumz Picture and Media Ltd.

They also clarified that Nedu is not the owner of Tokindrumz but rather a talent under the brand, disputing claims made in the viral video.

What Nedu’s Legal Team Demands

The legal notice demands that VeryDarkMan:

✅ Retract all videos mentioning Nedu within 24 hours
✅ Issue a public apology
✅ Pay N500 million in damages for reputational harm

Failure to meet these conditions, the legal team warned, will lead to a court case.

VeryDarkMan Responds

Reacting to the notice, VeryDarkMan took to Instagram to address his followers, signaling his readiness for the legal battle.

“Nedu’s lawyers have served me o, so make una get ready for court case,” he announced, suggesting that he intends to fight the allegations in court.

Social Media Reactions: Free Speech vs. Defamation?

The unfolding legal drama has sparked heated discussions online. Some argue that VeryDarkMan is exposing corruption, while others believe Nedu has the right to protect his reputation against misinformation.

This case raises broader questions about the responsibility of online critics, the consequences of unverified claims, and the fine line between free speech and defamation.

What Happens Next?

If VeryDarkMan refuses to comply, this could escalate into a major legal battle. Whether he has concrete evidence to back his claims or if this is a clear-cut case of defamation, only time will tell.
