Ossai Ovie Success, the media aide to Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, has accused social media critic Martins Vincent Otse.

He also described the critic, known online as Verydarkman (VDM), as a “very dangerous manipulator” after VDM made statements about a current investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Ovie alleged that VDM is diverting attention from an EFCC case against him, claiming that the influencer is under investigation for money laundering, terrorism financing, unlawful fundraising, foreign financial interference, tax evasion, and other financial crimes.

According to the Daily Post, VDM recently warned that certain All Progressives Congress (APC) leaders had requested the anti‑graft agency investigate him for terrorism financing and money laundering.

He also claimed that the APC is attempting to silence him after his recent successful protests in Abuja and Oyo State, during which he urged an end to the worsening security crisis.

VDM said the APC claims “we are fighting against bad governance, and therefore we are being sponsored, so they need to investigate us.”

He added that the APC “claimed our protest is so organized and organic, they were surprised by the turnout of Nigerians who want change, so for that reason, an APC member who is also a lawyer wrote a petition alleging that we are sponsoring terrorism.”

However, Ovie posted on his Facebook page on Wednesday, accusing VDM of being a “very dangerous manipulator” and stating, “I will give it to him, he has understood the game of social media.”

Ovie said, “The EFCC issue had been on VDM’s neck before he returned to Nigeria, and he was fully aware of the case. He knew he had to go online and seek people’s sympathy to make it appear that he is being prosecuted because of the protest in Abuja and Oyo.”
