Very Dark Man Shares Video of Iyabo Ojo, Tonto Dikeh Taunting Mohbad While Searching for Casket

The untimely death of Nigerian singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry and sparked a nationwide quest for justice. As fans and activists continue to demand answers about the circumstances surrounding his passing, social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, better known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has reignited the conversation with a controversial video. In this video, Nollywood actresses Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh are seen allegedly taunting the late singer while shopping for a casket for his burial. This revelation has stirred intense debate, raising questions about the motives of those involved in the "Justice for Mohbad" movement.

Mohbad, a rising star in Nigeria’s Afrobeats scene, passed away on September 12, 2023, under mysterious circumstances. His death sparked widespread outrage, with fans and activists alleging foul play and demanding a thorough investigation. The "Justice for Mohbad" movement gained momentum, with celebrities like Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh publicly advocating for transparency and accountability. The duo was seen as vocal supporters, organizing efforts to ensure Mohbad received a dignified burial and that his case was not swept under the rug.

However, VeryDarkMan, a polarizing figure known for his outspoken social media activism, has challenged the narrative surrounding the movement. VDM has been conducting a private investigation into Mohbad’s death, interviewing individuals close to the singer and sharing his findings online. His latest bombshell—a video allegedly showing Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh making insensitive remarks while casket shopping—has cast a shadow over their involvement in the justice campaign.

The Controversial Video- What Happened?

On July 28, 2025, VDM shared a video on his Instagram page that has since gone viral. The footage, reportedly recorded in 2023, shows Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh at Ebony Vault, a funeral home, browsing caskets for Mohbad’s burial after his body was exhumed for an autopsy. In the clip, the actresses are seen discussing different casket options, with Iyabo Ojo making a comment that has drawn significant backlash: “Mohbad will light up heaven.” The remark, delivered with a smile, was perceived by many as taunting or mocking the late singer. Tonto Dikeh, meanwhile, described a spinning casket used by someone she knew, adding to the casual tone of the conversation.

VDM’s caption accompanying the video accused the actresses of deceiving the public about their intentions in the "Justice for Mohbad" movement. He claimed that their actions, including the casket shopping, were more about personal gain than genuine concern for the late singer. The video has sparked outrage among Mohbad’s fans, who view the actresses’ behavior as disrespectful and insensitive, especially given the gravity of the situation.

Public Reaction: Outrage and Divided Opinions

The release of the video triggered a firestorm of reactions on social media. Fans of Mohbad expressed disappointment and anger, with many questioning why Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh, who were not family members or close associates of the singer, took it upon themselves to select his casket. One X user, @RichardJnr15, commented, “Person die, his family or wives family or close friends no buy casket. Na Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh go buy casket and they were making videos of it. Why? What is their business with casket when all they want is justice for him.”

Others defended the actresses, arguing that their actions were part of their commitment to ensuring Mohbad received a befitting burial. Iyabo Ojo, in a statement addressing VDM’s allegations, clarified that the WhatsApp group she created with colleagues, including Tonto Dikeh, was intended to document developments and coordinate with authorities to seek justice. She emphasized that there was nothing secretive about the group and that its objectives included exhuming Mohbad’s body for an autopsy and ensuring a proper burial.

However, VDM’s supporters argue that the video exposes a lack of sincerity. They point to the actresses’ lighthearted demeanor in the video as evidence of insensitivity, with some accusing them of using Mohbad’s death to boost their public image. The controversy has further fueled the ongoing feud between VDM and the actresses, who are currently involved in a legal battle over defamation charges.

VDM’s Broader Allegations: A Secret WhatsApp Group

The casket video is just one part of VDM’s broader claims against Iyabo Ojo, Tonto Dikeh, and other celebrities involved in the "Justice for Mohbad" movement. VDM alleges that a WhatsApp group, which included Iyabo Ojo, Tonto Dikeh, Davido’s aide Dre DMW, Samklef, and others, was created to control the narrative around Mohbad’s death. According to VDM, the group discussed sensitive issues, including doubts about the paternity of Mohbad’s son, Liam, and plans to conduct a private DNA test. He also claims that the group orchestrated his arrest in an attempt to silence his activism.

Music producer Samklef, another member of the alleged WhatsApp group, has countered VDM’s claims, alleging that the activist paid N20 million to hack the group’s chats. Samklef’s fans have questioned VDM’s methods, while others have praised his determination to uncover the truth. The leaked WhatsApp chats, which VDM claims reveal the group’s true intentions, have added another layer of complexity to the saga, with fans divided over who to believe.

The Bigger Picture: Seeking Justice for Mohbad

At the heart of this controversy is the unresolved question of what truly happened to Mohbad. VDM’s investigation, while controversial, has kept the case in the public eye, ensuring that the demand for justice remains alive. His decision to share the casket video and WhatsApp chats has sparked important conversations about transparency and accountability in the entertainment industry. However, it has also highlighted the challenges of navigating activism in the digital age, where personal vendettas and public opinion often collide.

For Mohbad’s fans, the focus remains on uncovering the truth about his death. The coroner’s inquest, concluded in June 2025, pointed to a nurse as a potential suspect, but VDM has questioned whether she is being scapegoated. He has called on Aloma DMW, another member of the WhatsApp group, to clarify a comment made shortly after Mohbad’s death that suggested the nurse’s involvement.

The release of the video showing Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh shopping for Mohbad’s casket has added fuel to an already contentious saga. VeryDarkMan’s relentless pursuit of justice for Mohbad has divided opinions, with some hailing him as a truth-seeker and others accusing him of sensationalism. Meanwhile, Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh maintain that their actions were driven by a desire to honor Mohbad and seek justice.

As the legal battles and public debates continue, one thing is clear: the quest for answers in Mohbad’s case is far from over. The controversy surrounding the casket video underscores the complexities of activism, celebrity influence, and the search for truth in a polarized digital landscape. For now, fans and observers alike await further developments, hoping that justice for Mohbad will eventually be served.
