Popular Nigerian activist Martins Vincent Otse, better known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), is in the news again as he has brought up the late Mohbad case..
In a recent video shared on his official Instagram page, VeryDarklMan calls out Zlatan Ibile and, by extension, gives him 48 hours to share his own side of the story.
VDM in the clip releases an audio of rapper Zlatan Ibile having a phone conversation with Sam Larry who has been accused alongside Naira Marley of having connection as regards the death of Mohbad.
However, after his recent interview about Mohbad, Sam Larry released an audio recording of a private phone call with rapper Zlatan Ibile, in which Zlatan seemed to back his claims about the bullying allegations involving the late singer.
In the leaked audio, Sam Larry is heard begging Zlatan to make a public statement to help clear his name.
Please, help me explain what really happened. They keep pushing this bullying narrative. It’s not true,” Sam Larry appealed.
Zlatan, however, was filled with uncertainty, stating that he had deliberately stayed out of the controversy for over two years due to family pressure and fear of online backlash.
“I am being careful; I will recommend giving a press statement. It’s been over two years since I refused to get involved in this saga. My mum and dad have warned me not to get involved; the last time I was dragged over what I said online, I was traumatised,”Zlatan responded.
The rapper also spoke about the infamous 9-second viral video that fueled the bullying narrative, claiming it was intentionally edited to mislead the public.
“The media is very toxic; they cropped the video to push an agenda. This is why I don’t want to be involved… I know you are not like that, but I’ve been avoiding this matter to protect myself,” he stated.
Zlatan stressed that he prioritizes his family’s safety and keeps them off social media to protect them from online toxicity.
Sharing the clip on his page, VDM wrote; “Over to @zlatan_ibile ………………. And to Nigerians You say you want justice for mohbad and you are not happy I am bringing the case back up for more investigations? If you really want justice let zlatan come out and tell Nigerians why he didn’t come out to say the truth of this day? Nigerians were divided on this case that is why the real people when Dey directly involved in how mohbad kpai(I don’t want the case to be forgotten let’s get it back up,the boy is still walking around,he hasn’t rested) justice for mohbad should not end until we know the truth from the real bullies,not the ones that social media showed us the real ones.”
