Nedu Wazobia, born Chinedu Ani Emmanuel, a well-known media figure, has issued a pre-action notice to social media critic VeryDarkMan following purported defamatory remarks made on his platform. 

VeryDarkMan revealed this development in a post on his Instagram account. 

The legal representatives for Nedu and Tokindrumz Picture and Media Ltd asserted that a 12-minute video posted by VeryDarkMan on his YouTube and Instagram accounts on February 19, 2025, contained “a host of defamatory, false, and disparaging attacks and rhetoric” 

They labeled the video, titled  “How Nedu Diverted NGO Scholarship Meant for Nigerians”, as untrue. Furthermore, they clarified that Nedu is not the owner of Tokindrumz but rather a talent associated with the brand. 

They demanded that VeryDarkMan “retract every video involving Nedu on all of his platforms within 24 hours of receiving the notice, issue a public apology, and pay the sum of N500m for the damage caused to Nedu’s reputation.”

They cautioned that failure to comply would lead to legal proceedings. In response, VeryDarkMan acknowledged the notice in a video on his Instagram, advising his followers to brace for the impending court case. 

“Nedu’s lawyers have served me o, so make una get ready for court case,”  he stated.
