In a developing crisis tied to the aftermath of the late Nigerian musician Mohbad’s death, prominent actress Iyabo Ojo has filed a formal petition with Commissioner of Police Uche Ifeanyi over concerns regarding the behavior of activist VeryDarkMan.
According to reports, Iyabo Ojo claims that VeryDarkMan was allowed entry into a police interrogation room, where she had been attending proceedings, uninvited and unannounced, raising serious procedural and security concerns :
- Iyabo Ojo alleges that VeryDarkMan, a public figure already embroiled in multiple legal controversies, was granted access to her interrogation room without notice or permission, undermining police procedure and her safety.
- The petition was addressed to CP Uche Ifeanyi and other high-ranking officials within the Nigerian Police Force, urging a review of protocols regarding third-party access to sensitive areas during criminal investigations .
VeryDarkMan, born Martins Vincent Otse, is a well-known Nigerian activist and influencer who rose to prominence through social advocacy and critical exposure of injustice. He has faced arrests previously, including defamation and cyberstalking charges, and was recently detained in May 2025 for alleged cyberstalking. He frequently appears in public protests and high-profile campaigns for social justice.
- Iyabo Ojo’s concern focuses on procedural propriety, the integrity of police operations and chain of custody within investigative processes.
- This incident raises broader questions about who should be allowed in sensitive law enforcement spaces, particularly when it involves high-profile activists or figures with personal interests in pending cases.
- Advocacy groups and legal observers may view it as a test case for enforcement of police regulations and ensuring fairness and privacy for all parties involved.
- The petition demands a comprehensive internal review of the circumstances that led to VeryDarkMan’s entry into the interrogation room, as well as measures to prevent similar breaches in the future.
- As of this writing, no official response has been confirmed from CP Uche Ifeanyi or the Force Public Relations Department. It remains to be seen whether additional investigations will be launched.
- Stakeholders, including Mohbad’s family, Iyabo Ojo, civil society advocates, and the Nigerian Police Force,are likely to monitor developments closely, as implications extend beyond this immediate incident.
Actress Iyabo Ojo has lodged a formal complaint with CP Uche Ifeanyi, alleging unauthorized entry of activist VeryDarkMan into her police interrogation room. The petition underscores concerns about investigation integrity and procedural transparency in the high-profile Mohbad case.
