In the latest twist of Nigeria’s most heated online saga actress Iyabo Ojo has reportedly reached out privately to social critic and influencer VeryDarkMan begging for forgiveness and admitting that his allegations about the infamous WhatsApp group were true. However her apology was firmly rejected as VDM declared he would not back down and is now preparing to release private chats that he claims will fully expose the conspiracy against him.

According to sources close to the situation Iyabo Ojo admitted in her messages to VeryDarkMan that the WhatsApp group she was part of alongside PR strategist Dre singer Samklef Tonto Dikeh and others had indeed played a role in influencing narratives during the Mohbad case. She claimed she never intended to damage VDM’s career or credibility but was allegedly pressured by others in the group to participate in coordinated moves that led to his arrest and detention.

VDM who spent nearly a month in custody after being accused of defamation and harassment is not buying the apology. In a live video earlier today he made it clear that he considers Iyabo’s move a last-minute attempt to escape accountability now that the truth is starting to come out. He stated that her apology is meaningless without public acknowledgment of wrongdoing and that he intends to hold everyone involved responsible.

He announced that he would be releasing screenshots of conversations from the WhatsApp group which he says will leave no doubt about the intentions behind the group’s creation. According to VDM the messages show clear efforts to silence him distort the Mohbad justice movement and manipulate public opinion by using their celebrity platforms.

Meanwhile Naira Marley who was previously accused in the death of late singer Mohbad has reentered the spotlight by hinting at the release of shocking video evidence that he claims will change the narrative entirely. Though he has remained mostly quiet in recent weeks Marley posted cryptic messages on his Instagram story saying people are not ready for what is about to come and that silence is no longer an option.

Insiders suggest that Naira Marley has video recordings involving key members of the WhatsApp group which may support claims that certain public figures were working behind the scenes to spin the Mohbad tragedy for personal or political gain. If these videos are released they could ignite new controversy and possibly spark legal action.

Social media has erupted in the wake of these revelations with hashtags like VDMWasRight and FreeSpeechUnderAttack trending across platforms. Many users are demanding full transparency from those accused of plotting against VeryDarkMan while others are urging the authorities to investigate the group’s actions during the heat of the Mohbad case.

Iyabo Ojo has not made a public statement since the reports of her apology surfaced but critics have already begun calling for her to go live and explain her side. Public trust appears to be eroding rapidly especially among fans who previously supported her vocal advocacy during the Mohbad investigation.

Legal analysts believe that if the chat leaks and video evidence confirm a coordinated effort to falsely accuse or silence a citizen the parties involved could face serious defamation or obstruction of justice claims. For now though the matter remains in the court of public opinion and the coming days may bring even more drama.

This unfolding saga continues to spotlight the dark underbelly of celebrity activism and the influence of online cliques in shaping public discourse. With VDM refusing to forgive without consequences and both chat leaks and videos pending release Nigeria is bracing itself for yet another media storm.

As the tension builds Nigerians are watching closely to see whether those in the spotlight will come forward and own up to their roles or double down in denial. One thing is clear the fight for justice in the Mohbad case has taken a new turn and it is far from over.
