Self-acclaimed social police, Martins Vincent Otse, known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has blasted President Bola Tinubu’s spokesman, Bayo Onanuga after the presidency accused him of spreading a doctored audio falsely attributed to the president.
“You are a very stupid old man,” VDM said in a video response after discovering Onanuga’s public call for him to “face the weight of the law” as the “conveyor and disseminator” of the fake clip.
VDM, speaking from China, said the audio is fabricated and was used as a setup to provoke his arrest.
He revealed receiving urgent calls warning him not to return to Nigeria and demanded the presidency explain its silence on security lapses even as it quickly moved against him for the clip.
The doctored AI-generated audio, which imitates Tinubu making sensitive comments about insecurity, political rivals and 2027 election plans circulated widely before VDM and his legal team denied originating it and called for proper verification.
The presidency says the clip is misinformation that could mislead the public; VDM insists he was being framed and says the episode highlights broader failures in governance and security.
