The simmering drama in Mohbad’s death investigation has erupted into a full-blown scandal after social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) leaked chats from a WhatsApp group. Allegations swirl that celebrities allegedly plotted to discredit him—and leaked private content—raising suspicions of paid narrative control and hidden agendas. Now, two of those implicated—actor Jigan Baba Oja and producer Samklef—have hit back with explosive denials.
Jigan Speaks Out
Jigan Baba Oja confirmed he was a member of the so-called “Justice for Mohbad” WhatsApp group, but insists his only motivation was genuine concern. He explains that Mohbad featured him in a song shortly before his death, prompting him to seek answers. Jigan emphasized:
“There’s nothing hidden here—I joined because I wanted justice. When it became clear nothing was happening, I disengaged.” He denies belonging to any smear plot, and has accused VDM of manipulating public perception. Since the allegations surfaced, Jigan’s TikTok account was reported and subsequently suspended.
Samklef Fires Back
Samklef has likewise denied the accusations, calling them a coordinated attempt to derail justice. He insists the group was originally created to challenge online bullies like Naira Marley—not suppress investigation. In a fiery post on X, Samklef described VDM as:
“a clout chaser” and “working for the enemies.”
He demanded accountability, stating:
“Did Mohbad file a petition against Naira Marley and Sam Larry over threats? True or false? That’s what we were fighting for.”
The Conspiratorial Twist
VDM alleges behind-the-scenes coordination aimed at framing Naira Marley for Mohbad’s death—even suggesting that the group’s voice notes and chat messages were leaked to sabotage critics. He claims that the WhatsApp group quickly moved from seeking justice to shaping a political narrative—drawing in activists, bloggers, and social media influencers.
Some insiders even allege a payout: rumors suggest Tunde Ednut paid VDM ₦1 million, leading to a sudden shift in messaging and attack targets—raising questions about money-driven control of the narrative.
Backlash & Public Sentiment
The public reaction has been fierce. Fans triggered Jigan’s TikTok page suspension and many called VDM a manipulator, accusing him of diverting attention from real issues like the DNA test he insisted on for Mohbad’s partner. Meanwhile, Samklef’s followers praised his stand and accused VDM of gaslighting and betrayal.
The Mohbad saga has morphed from tragedy into a theatre of accusation, betrayal, and alleged manipulation. Jigan and Samklef stand firm—denying conspiracy and claming sincere motives—while VDM positions himself as the lone whistle-blower being silenced. But who is shaping the truth, and to what end?
Release of full chat records, financial audit of possible bribes, and law enforcement confirmation of leaked media source would provide crucial clarity on whether this is genuine quest for justice—or a calculated media coup.
