Popular media personality Nedu has taken legal action against social media critic VeryDarkMan, accusing him of making defamatory remarks.
VeryDarkMan confirmed receiving a pre-action notice in a video posted on Instagram, where he told his followers to prepare for a legal battle.
“Nedu’s lawyers have served me o, so make una get ready for court case,” he said.
According to the notice, Nedu’s lawyers, representing him and Tokindrumz Picture and Media Ltd, claim that a 12-minute video posted by VeryDarkMan on YouTube and Instagram on February 19, 2025, contained “false and damaging” allegations.
The video, titled How Nedu Diverted NGO Scholarship Meant for Nigerians, was described by Nedu’s legal team as completely untrue. They also clarified that Nedu is not the owner of Tokindrumz but rather a talent under the brand.
The legal notice demands that VeryDarkMan remove all videos involving Nedu within 24 hours, issue a public apology, and pay N500 million in damages for the harm caused to Nedu’s reputation.
