Controversial Nigerian music producer Samklef has taken a swipe at the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) for inviting popular social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, better known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), to speak at its annual conference.
In a series of posts on X, Samklef questioned the association’s choice of speaker while revisiting his longstanding feud with VeryDarkMan, Davido and celebrity blogger Tunde Ednut.
Samklef alleged that VeryDarkMan had previously made threats against him and claimed that the activist was recruited alongside others to attack individuals who were vocal during the controversy surrounding the death of singer Mohbad.
According to Samklef, VeryDarkMan once threatened that Davido could have him killed and dismembered, allegedly boasting that he would have assisted if Samklef had been in Nigeria.
Samklef further accused Davido and Tunde Ednut of sponsoring online attacks against people demanding justice for Mohbad, particularly himself, claiming that his growing influence as a blogger had become a source of concern to Tunde Ednut.
He also suggested that the relationship between the personalities he accused had since deteriorated.
Taking a direct swipe at the NBA, Samklef questioned why an organisation representing legal practitioners would offer VeryDarkMan a platform despite the allegations he had raised against him.
“And this the person Nigeria bar association invited to their platform! Charge and bail Lawyers! No level no value!” he wrote.
