Activist and social media influencer Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, has told the National Civil Society Council of Nigeria (NCSCN) that he will continue to call out the Nigerian President’s son, Seyi Tinubu, despite a note of caution from the body.
He made this known on Wednesday via a video message shared on his official Instagram page while responding to remarks by the NCSCN.
The controversy began when content creator Mitchelle Mukoro, also known as King Mitchy, challenged VeryDarkMan to account for public donations he had received since 2025 during a heated online exchange.
Responding, VeryDarkMan accused Seyi Tinubu of sponsoring Mitchy’s charity work as part of a hidden agenda.
In a follow-up video, he called on the public to hold both the President’s son and Mitchy accountable should anything happen to him.
He said: “Seyi go far ooo. Na me know wetin he tell me on phone. Protect your bro. My life is being threatened. I just want to put it out there that if anything happens to me, it’s King Mitchy and Seyi.”
Addressing the allegations, Seyi described the claims as “false”, clarifying that his only interaction with King Mitchy occurred in a public setting where he offered financial support for her non-governmental organisation.

He also expressed concern that a feud he neither initiated nor participated in was being used to tarnish his reputation, stressing that VeryDarkMan “appears to have been looking for a trigger” to attack him.
Wading into the matter during a press conference held in Abuja on Tuesday, the NCSCN warned that the issue had grown beyond a simple social media disagreement.
In a video from the briefing circulating online, the Council’s Executive Director, Blessing Akinlosotu, stated that their findings indicated VeryDarkMan had escalated the matter and unnecessarily brought Seyi Tinubu’s name into the public spat.
According to the council, the direction of the conversation could have wider implications for responsible digital engagement in Nigeria.
The organisation expressed concern that such online conflicts may blur the lines between activism, personal attacks, and public accountability.
Reacting to the observation in his latest post, VeryDarkMan, who appeared unconcerned by the council’s position, doubled down on his earlier stance.
He said: “I have decided that I will be tagging Seyi Tinubu in any of my videos that concern Nigerians.”
Speaking further in Pidgin English, he taunted the NCSCN, saying: “Make una get ready, una get a lot of future press conferences to make.”
