‘Use my image without consent, face jail’ – VDM warns Sowore
Popular Nigerian social media critic, VeryDarkMan, has issued a stern warning to human rights activist, Omoyele Sowore, threatening legal action if his image is ever used without consent.
The outspoken critic made this known in a strongly worded reaction that has since stirred conversations across social media platforms.
VeryDarkMan’s outburst follows Sowore’s criticism of the remand of businessman, B-Lord. Sowore had described the detention as “not a victory,” cautioning against what he termed the weaponisation of the law.
In response, VeryDarkMan accused Sowore of overstepping boundaries and made it clear he would not tolerate any unauthorised use of his identity or image, warning that such an action could lead to legal consequences.
The exchange has added another layer to the ongoing debate around the arrest and detention of B-Lord, with supporters on both sides weighing in on issues of rights, justice, and the limits of public commentary.
In a no-holds-barred reply that has since gone viral, VDM doubled down on his stance, making it clear that anyone, including Sowore would face the same consequences.
“If dem born you well, use my picture without my consent… I will lock you up. Put am for billboard, I go send you go prison,” he fired.
The remark marks a sharp escalation in the war of words, with VeryDarkMan framing the issue as a clear-cut case of personal rights and legal consequences, not activism or oppression.
The controversy trails the Federal High Court’s decision to remand B-Lord in Kuje prison for 26 days over allegations bordering on impersonation, identity theft, forgery and breach of privacy linked to VeryDarkMan.
While Sowore had urged restraint and even called on his lawyer, Marshal D F Abubakar, to step away from the case, arguing that justice should not be reduced to punishment, VeryDarkMan’s latest outburst shows he is ready to push the matter to its limits.
