Popular Nigerian social media critic, VeryDarkMan, VDM, has issued a strong warning to human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, vowing to take legal action if his image is used without permission.
In a video posted on his official Instagram page, VDM addressed Sowore directly, accusing him of not supporting him and cautioning him against repeating the actions that recently landed businessman Blord in legal trouble.
“Sowore, I know you never liked me. All these things wey you dey do online, I know. Sowore, I swear to God, if dem born you well, do the same thing wey Blord do.
“Go and use my picture on a billboard or use my picture to promote things without getting approval from me. You, Omoyele Sowore, I will send you to prison if dem born you well do wetin he do,” he said.
Blord was remanded on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, over allegations of impersonating VeryDarkMan, forgery, false endorsement, breach of privacy, and identity theft, among other charges.
In a related development, Sowore reacted to the situation, stating that sending Blord to prison over what he described as an “innovative strategy” and the expertise of VeryDarkMan’s legal team should not be seen as a victory.
