In other news, Deeone, a well-known Nigerian comedian, has ignited fresh debate by stating he possesses evidence that could harm social media commentator Verydarkman.
The tension between them grew after Deeone alleged on The Honest Bunch podcast that Verydarkman is gay.
His remarks triggered a strong argument between the activist and podcast host Nedu Wazobia.
After that, Deeone has been making the rounds in the media, asserting that he has evidence to back up his claims. In a recent video, he revealed part of this evidence by showing a black-and-white picture of a man with his mouth open.
Deeone said he won’t share the images online, but he plans to send them to the proper authorities.
“I just enter Abuja now. Lemme just burst your head small. Who be this way dey open mouth like say something dey inside…like say e dey collect something. Black and white dey; colored dey. If you have Evidence eh, don’t post it on social media; take it to the appropriate authorities and see if the law will not take its course. If I release half of the things I have, social media go scatter,” he said.
His statements have sparked a lot of reactions online, with social media users split on whether his supposed evidence is real or not.
