OAP Nedu Denies allegations made by VeryDarkMan of having links with drug lords and yahoo boys

Nigerian media personality Nedu Wazobia has denied a leaked audio allegedly linking him to hard drugs and fraud.

VeryDarkMan, a controversial social media critic, shared an audio alleging Nedu’s involvement in drugs and fraudulent activities.

VeryDarkMan accused Nedu of having close ties with individuals involved in drug and fraudulent activities in Turkey, South Africa, and Morocco.

Nigerian media figure Nedu Wazobia has refuted claims stemming from a leaked audio that purportedly associates him with illicit drugs and fraudulent activities.

According to Gistlover, the audio, disseminated by the controversial social media commentator VeryDarkMan, claims that Nedu is involved in drug trafficking and other fraudulent schemes.

VeryDarkMan has accused Nedu of maintaining associations with people engaged in illicit activities in Turkey, South Africa, and Morocco. Additionally, on Wednesday, he posted a video on his Instagram account documenting his visit to the embassies of Turkey, South Africa, and Morocco in Nigeria, where he submitted a petition against Nedu.

In response to these allegations, Nedu took to his Instagram story to categorically deny any involvement in criminal conduct, asserting that he is not the individual behind the circulating audio.

He said, “Hello everyone, this is not a joke anymore I know nothing about that voice note going around. I did not make that voice note.While this seems to be fun and games, I’ve never and will never be part of anything criminal”.

In light of these developments, Nedu Wazobia has issued a pre-action notice to VeryDarkMan regarding the alleged defamatory statements made on his platform. VeryDarkMan disclosed this information through a post on his Instagram account.

Gistlover reports that the legal representatives for Nedu and Tokindrumz Picture and Media Ltd have claimed that a 12-minute video released by VeryDarkMan on his YouTube and Instagram accounts on February 19, 2025, contains numerous defamatory, false, and disparaging assertions aimed at their clients.

They described the video, titled “How Nedu Diverted NGO Scholarship Meant for Nigerians,” as unsubstantiated. Furthermore, they clarified that Nedu is not the owner of Tokindrumz but is instead a talent affiliated with the brand.

They have demanded that VeryDarkMan remove all videos featuring Nedu from his platforms within 24 hours of receiving the notice, issue a public apology, and compensate Nedu with ₦ 500 million for the damage caused to his reputation.
