Iyabo Ojo Files Petition Against Nigeria Police for Allowing VeryDarkMan into Her Interrogation Room
- Iyabo Ojo has petitioned Nigeria’s National Security Adviser, citing alleged misconduct by the Police Cybercrime Centre and VeryDarkMan
- In her complaint, she accused officers of bias during her interrogation over cyberbullying claims by Naira Marley and Sam Larry
- Her lawyers said VDM, a defendant in a separate case, was allowed into her session and treated preferentially, which has raised concerns
Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has formally petitioned Nigeria's National Security Adviser, Mallam Nuhu Ribadu, over serious misconduct allegedly perpetrated by officers of the Nigeria Police Force, National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCC) and controversial social media activist, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM).
The petition, dated July 29 and filed by Iyabo Ojo’s legal representatives, The Maverick Forte Legal, detailed disturbing breaches of protocol and bias during her recent interrogation at the NPF-NCC in Abuja.

The actress had honoured a police invitation over complaints filed against her by singers Naira Marley and Sam Larry regarding alleged cyberbullying and defamation.
According to the petition, during one of her interrogation sessions, VDM, a civilian and a defendant in a separate criminal case involving Iyabo Ojo as a witness, was allowed into the interrogation room.
He was allegedly seen serving himself coffee while seated with officers and complainants, a privilege the petition says no ordinary civilian enjoys. His presence was described as a gross violation of Ojo’s privacy, confidentiality, and dignity.
Iyabo Ojo makes allegations against CP Uche
The petition also accuses Commissioner of Police, CP Ifeanyi Henry Uche, of having an inappropriate relationship with VDM, granting him unrestricted access to the police facility.
Iyabo Ojo’s lawyers expressed concern that sensitive conversations from her interrogation have been leaked online, allegedly by VDM.
Iyabo Ojo is requesting an independent investigation, a change of jurisdiction to Lagos, and an end to what her lawyers describe as a “biased and compromised investigation.”

She has also accused the NPF-NCC of neglecting her previous petition against VDM filed since December 2024. The actress says she will no longer honour invitations to the Abuja office due to security concerns and ongoing health issues.

This woman keeps making mistake, who is even advising this woman?

CP uche needs to explain how the riff raff was able to walk into his office while he was interrogating anything another civilian. Does VDM now work for the Nigerian police force?

Love me some an audacious and smart and intelligent woman 🙌❤️❤️❤️❤️
truehomesrealty affirmed:
Naira marley has the right to bring whoever he wants into the investigation room. If I was wrongfully accused by you and we are at the station to make a deal which you are pleading for you don’t have right to tell me who should be in the room or not ! Your privilege has been lost from the moment you made false claim on Naira Marley and Sam Larry that they are responsible for mohbad death .
zamani_oflife noted:
Iyabo Ojo has never been a standard for anything. She’s an actress and influencer, not an activist. Most of these “justice” cases she jumps on are clearly for clout and visibility. Let’s not pretend otherwise.
