Activist VeryDarkMan Resurrects Mohbad’s Case, Demands Zlatan Speak on Leaked Call with Sam Larry [VIDEO]

 

Nigerian social media has once again been ignited by the relentless voice of outspoken activist, Vincent Otse Martins, widely known as VeryDarkMan. The controversial figure, who has carved a niche for himself through his confrontational digital crusades, has released what he claims is a voice recording between music promoter Sam Larry and popular Nigerian singer Zlatan Ibile. The contents of the recording have stirred a fresh wave of outrage, centering once more on the tragic and mysterious death of rising artist, Mohbad.

The audio clip, shared through VeryDarkMan’s Instagram platform, captures a conversation that reportedly took place in the wake of Mohbad’s passing. In the clip, Zlatan is allegedly heard distancing himself from the controversies surrounding the late singer’s death, stating that he deliberately avoided making public statements due to the intense backlash and drama that comes with social media commentary.

This revelation has infuriated VeryDarkMan, who did not hold back in his condemnation of Zlatan’s alleged silence. In a stern video address to his followers, the activist issued a public ultimatum, giving Zlatan 48 hours to come forward and provide clarity on the circumstances of the conversation and his perceived lack of support during the public’s demand for justice for Mohbad.

The late singer, who passed under troubling and unclear circumstances, became a symbol of youth disillusionment and industry exploitation. His death sparked widespread protests and calls for an independent investigation. While various public figures lent their voices to the movement at the time, some notable personalities maintained an uneasy silence, and Zlatan’s name now finds itself back in the spotlight for that very reason.

VeryDarkMan’s renewed involvement in the Mohbad case has been met with both praise and criticism. Supporters commend his unwavering determination to keep the issue in the public eye, arguing that justice delayed is justice denied. Critics, however, have not been as forgiving. Many point to his earlier position where he was perceived to have diverted attention from the core of the investigation by bringing up unverified claims about DNA tests and even defending Naira Marley, a central figure in the saga who has been accused of intimidation and harassment of Mohbad before his death.

During his recent address, VeryDarkMan did not mince words. “I am going to be playing a voice recording between Zlatan and Sam Larry, during the time Mohbad died,” he declared. “Now I expect in 48 hours Zlatan will come out to explain what he knows and why he did not speak out when we were seeking justice for Mohbad.”

He continued by expressing frustration at the Nigerian public’s tendency to move on quickly from serious issues. According to him, this behavior contributes to why authorities often fail to act decisively. “A lot of you have moved on. That is why our government cannot take us seriously,” he stated. “I deliberately brought this case back because I see a lot of you have forgotten.”

The activist’s voice grew even more passionate as he addressed the spiritual and emotional toll the unresolved case has left behind. “I really want to get justice for the boy. He has not been buried and his spirit is moving around. While some people knew the truth, they distracted everybody and used bullying to cover it up. And you Zlatan, you kept quiet,” he charged.

Taking aim at detractors questioning his decision to revisit the case, VeryDarkMan did not hold back. “I don start that case again. Anybody wey no like am make e enter bush,” he fired. “You are not a real person if you ask me why I brought back the case again. So you want to make the case go down and you say you wanted justice for the boy? You all are fake. A lot of you are fake.”

This isn’t the first time VeryDarkMan has taken a combative approach in his activism. His methods, often criticized for being sensational and aggressive, nonetheless keep the public discourse alive, especially around unresolved or controversial social justice issues. His strategy, while polarizing, appears to be effective in drawing renewed attention.

As the deadline looms for Zlatan’s public response, tension continues to build online. Many await a statement from the artist, eager to hear his side of the story. Others are skeptical, believing that silence will once again prevail, as has been the case with many Nigerian public scandals that fade with time and lack of accountability.

Still, one truth remains: Mohbad’s death has left a void, not just in music, but in the national consciousness. The call for justice may have quieted for a time, but activists like VeryDarkMan are determined to ensure that silence does not win.

With this recent development, Nigeria watches closely. Will Zlatan break his silence? Will new details emerge? And will this renewed attention lead to a real breakthrough in the investigation surrounding Mohbad’s untimely death? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: the case is far from over.
