Popular media personality Nedu Wazobia has issued a pre-action notice to social media critic VeryDarkMan over alleged defamatory statements made on his platform.
VeryDarkMan revealed this development in a post on his Instagram page.
According to legal representatives of Nedu and Tokindrumz Picture and Media Ltd, a 12-minute video shared by VeryDarkMan on his YouTube and Instagram pages on February 19, 2025, contained what they described as “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 labeled as false by Nedu’s legal team. They further clarified that Nedu is not the owner of Tokindrumz but rather a talent associated with the brand.
As part of their demands, the lawyers instructed VeryDarkMan to remove all videos involving Nedu from his platforms within 24 hours of receiving the notice, issue a public apology, and pay N500 million in damages for reputational harm.
They warned that failure to comply would result in legal action. Reacting to the notice in a video posted on Instagram, VeryDarkMan informed his followers about the legal proceedings.
“Nedu’s lawyers have served me o, so make una get ready for court case,” he said.
