The allegations, which have been making rounds on social media, started when Verydarkman alleged that popular actress Iyabo Ojo was heading a covert WhatsApp group involving a number of celebrities. According to him, the group’s purpose was to derail the momentum surrounding calls for justice in the mysterious death of Mohbad.

Jigan’s Response on TikTok Live
Taking to TikTok Live, Jigan Baba Oja voiced his disappointment over the allegations and firmly rejected Verydarkman’s demands that he provide screenshots or evidence to prove his innocence. The actor made it clear that he had no obligation to explain himself to anyone when he had done nothing wrong.
In his words:
“If you like, listen to my explanation, that’s fine. But do I owe anyone an explanation? No! My conscience is clear and that is what truly matters.”
The actor maintained that he has never been part of any group working against the interest of justice for Mohbad and emphasized that integrity, not online noise, defines a person’s true character.

“So fast Nigerians ain’t asking for the evidences no more! Something you paid 20 million to achieve and you can’t post it no longer! Are we still in the slavery era? Na leg dey pain me, not my brain! We shall see to the end of this! Thank you Allah, Olujo Mimo!”
The cryptic message has led many followers to believe that Jigan was not just defending himself, but also subtly calling out inconsistencies in Verydarkman’s narrative.
