Controversial Nigerian singer Habeeb Okikiola, popularly known as Portable, has taken a swipe at self-acclaimed activist Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), accusing him of manipulating public sentiment surrounding the tragic death of fellow singer Mohbad.
Mohbad passed away in September 2023 under highly controversial circumstances, sparking widespread outrage and calls for justice. While VeryDarkMan initially gained prominence for championing the cause, Portable now claims the activist is veering off course and doing more harm than good.
In a recent video message, the ‘Zazu’ crooner described VDM as “a manipulator” who is misleading Nigerians and sabotaging the “Justice for Mohbad” campaign by consistently attacking actress Iyabo Ojo.
“VeryDarkMan, you came out deceiving Nigerians that you want justice for Mohbad. You’re a manipulator. Now, you’re dragging Iyabo Ojo. What’s really her offense?” Portable queried.
He continued, “You’re a manipulator. You claimed you want justice for Mohbad, so why are you now going against Mohbad? Leave Mohbad and let him rest in peace. Why are you dragging the dead? You are the one who first alleged that Mohbad was killed by some certain people, and you’re now making a U-turn.”
The singer further questioned VDM’s moral authority, saying, “Are you the one who will tell Nigerians who is good or not? We know people who are good people. We also know the people who bullied Mohbad. Stop deceiving Nigerians.”
Portable’s remarks add yet another layer of drama to the ongoing public debate over Mohbad’s untimely death and the personalities involved in the justice campaign.
