Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo has responded to claims by social media influencer, Martins Vincent Otse aka Verydarkman, that she backed out of an agreement to publicly apologise to Naira Marley and Sam Larry, saying he is “manipulative”
The mother of two reacted to the allegation in a recent video trending online.
According to Verydarkman, the agreement was reached during a roundtable discussion at the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre, where Iyabo Ojo, Naira Marley, Sam Larry and Tonto Dikeh were present with their legal teams.
However, while reacting to the claims, Iyabo Ojo dismissed them, saying Verydarkman is dishonest, cunny and deceitful.
She went on to defend her actions, stating that she had genuine reasons to speak out against Naira Marley and Sam Larry’s alleged involvement in the late singer Mohbad’s death.
She added that disturbing videos and online reports that emerged after the singer’s passing led her to believe the bullying accusations levelled against them.
Speaking in the now viral video, Iyabo Ojo said, “Verydarkman, I saw your video, and I know why you made those videos. I’m sure the NCCC has called to tell you that I’ve petitioned them, so you had to come out and do your normal manipulative tactics.
“I am a very wise woman. I know when to fight, when to listen and when to speak, unlike you who speak from both sides of the mouth and people should stop taking you seriously.
“I was invited by NCCC. I was on my way to Tanzania for Priscilla’s wedding and I saw the letter. I’ve never seen Naira Marley before. I just help promote his songs on my platform.
“I saw a video of Naira Marley dancing after Mohbad’s death. I was angry.
“I also saw Sam Larry’s video where he harassed Zlatan Ibile and Mohbad. That was when I believed the bullying allegations. As a concerned citizen and mother, I used my platforms.”
