Popular media personality Nedu Wazobia has issued a pre-action notice to social media critic VeryDarkMan over alleged defamatory statements made against him.
VeryDarkMan disclosed this in a post on his Instagram page, revealing that he had been served legal documents by Nedu’s legal representatives.
According to the lawyers representing Nedu and Tokindrumz Picture and Media Ltd, a 12-minute video posted by VeryDarkMan on his YouTube and Instagram pages on February 19, 2025, contained “a host of defamatory, false, and disparaging attacks and rhetoric” against their clients.
The video, titled “How Nedu Diverted NGO Scholarship Meant for Nigerians,” was described as false, with the lawyers clarifying that Nedu is not the owner of Tokindrumz but a talent under the brand.
The legal team has demanded that VeryDarkMan retract all videos involving Nedu from his platforms within 24 hours, issue a public apology, and pay N500 million in damages for harming Nedu’s reputation. Failure to comply, they warned, would result in legal action.
