Popular Nigerian social media critic VeryDarkMan has issued a strong warning to human rights activist Omoyele Sowore, saying he would take legal action if his image is used without permission.
The warning follows recent comments by Sowore, who criticised the remand of B-Lord. Sowore described the detention as “not a victory” and cautioned against what he called the misuse of the legal system.
In response, VeryDarkMan delivered a heated reaction that quickly spread online. He made it clear that he would not tolerate the use of his image without consent, regardless of who is involved.
“If dem born you well, use my picture without my consent… I will lock you up. Put am for billboard, I go send you go prison,” he fired.
His statement signals a sharp rise in tensions between both figures. VeryDarkMan insisted the issue is about personal rights and legal boundaries, not activism or oppression.
The dispute is linked to a recent ruling by the Federal High Court, which ordered the remand of B-Lord in Kuje prison for 26 days. The case involves allegations of impersonation, identity theft, forgery and breach of privacy connected to VeryDarkMan.
Sowore had earlier called for restraint. He also asked his lawyer, Marshal D F Abubakar, to step away from the case, arguing that justice should not be reduced to punishment.
However, VeryDarkMan’s latest remarks suggest he is prepared to pursue the matter fully through legal means.
The clash between VeryDarkMan and Sowore highlights growing tensions around the B-Lord case and the broader debate on rights and justice. As the situation unfolds, more reactions and possible legal steps may follow.
