VeryDarkMan Pledges ₦20 Million to Anyone With Solid Video Proof Linking Naira Marley to Mohbad's Assault [VIDEO]

 

The ongoing controversy surrounding the death of rising Nigerian artist, Mohbad, has taken a dramatic new turn. Prominent social critic and activist, VeryDarkMan (popularly referred to as VDM), has declared a ₦20 million reward for anyone who can present undeniable video evidence of Naira Marley physically assaulting the late singer or giving orders for such an act to be carried out.

This call for visual proof comes nearly a year after Mohbad passed away under circumstances that continue to fuel speculation, emotion, and public outrage. The musician, who was once signed to Naira Marley’s Marlian Records, had on multiple occasions before his death raised alarm over threats to his life. Numerous videos of Mohbad crying out for help and naming both Naira Marley and his associate Sam Larry as alleged tormentors surfaced online following his untimely demise.

Rather than fade, the demand for justice has only intensified. Many fans and rights advocates have refused to move on until those allegedly responsible for Mohbad’s suffering are made to face the full weight of the law. VDM, a vocal presence in Nigerian social discourse, has consistently kept Mohbad’s story alive in the public eye, demanding a transparent and thorough investigation into the events that led up to the artist's tragic end.

His latest video, shared on social media this week, marks a significant escalation in his quest for justice. In the video, VDM called on the general public to assist in uncovering the truth. He stated emphatically that a cash reward of ₦20 million will be handed to any individual who submits video footage showing Naira Marley physically assaulting Mohbad or commanding others to carry out such violent acts on his behalf.

The offer, he explained, is aimed at encouraging witnesses who may be holding on to key evidence to come forward without fear. According to him, while many have already seen videos suggesting Mohbad was being bullied, the goal now is to obtain undisputable proof that could hold up in court or prompt further legal scrutiny.

Prior to his death in September 2023, Mohbad’s relationship with his former label had become visibly strained. He had shared disturbing accounts of being harassed and even physically attacked, claiming that attempts were being made to silence him. One of the most circulated clips following his death showed a visibly shaken Mohbad accusing Naira Marley and Sam Larry of being behind several of these incidents. He had even gone as far as submitting a formal petition to the Nigerian police, seeking protection and justice. Unfortunately, that petition was reportedly not acted upon before his sudden passing.

His death sparked widespread protests and outrage, both online and offline. While autopsy and investigation efforts were promised by law enforcement agencies, the case has since been shrouded in mystery, with no definitive conclusion made public. This vacuum of answers has continued to fuel conspiracy theories, emotional appeals, and widespread suspicion.

VDM’s reward offer has reignited conversations across social media, with many commending the bold step and urging anyone in possession of such evidence to come forward. Others have called on law enforcement to follow VDM’s lead by reopening the investigation and bringing all relevant parties under renewed scrutiny.

Naira Marley and Sam Larry have consistently denied any wrongdoing. However, the public remains divided, and the calls for accountability have not waned. With the new monetary incentive now on the table, fresh revelations could emerge that may shift the trajectory of the case.

This development could also set a precedent for civil society intervention in unresolved cases involving public figures. By leveraging public interest, social pressure, and financial motivation, activists like VeryDarkMan are demonstrating alternative avenues to push for justice when official processes appear stalled or ineffective.

Whether or not the promised video evidence will surface remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: the memory of Mohbad, and the circumstances surrounding his passing, remain etched in the hearts of Nigerians. And as it stands, the quest for justice continues, with louder voices and renewed determination.
