A woman has come forward with a deeply personal account of losing $60,000 to a scammer, alleging that popular Nigerian activist Verydarkman (VDM) refused to help her even after singer Peter Okoye personally intervened on her behalf. The woman, who claims to be a fan of Peter Okoye, shared her story in a video posted on Monday, 10 August 2026, speaking directly to the camera with visible emotion.
Woman's Ordeal: Scam and Pregnancy
In the video, the woman claimed she was pregnant at the time she discovered she had been defrauded of $60,000. She said it was she who first identified the scammer and reached out to Peter for help. According to her, after uncovering the scam, she pleaded with Peter Okoye to contact VDM, hoping the activist's platform could bring attention to her case and assist in recovering her losses.
She claimed Okoye obliged and reached out to VDM, but alleges the activist chose to ignore the request entirely. She argued that she was the reason Peter Okoye had been in touch with VDM, contrary to claims made by the activist.
Allegations of Wickedness
What sharpened her frustration was a subsequent public gesture by VDM. She pointed out that the same "Peter" who had facilitated her appeal to the activist was among those who publicly called for VDM's release when he was arrested by the EFCC. In her view, this made VDM's silence on her case all the more inexcusable, and his action toward Peter Okoye in his messy feud with his brothers, Paul and Jude Okoye, an act of wickedness.
"That guy is wicked," she said, addressing the activist directly. "You're a wicked person." She backed her claims with screenshots of WhatsApp conversations shown on camera, presenting them as evidence of the communication that took place. The video quickly gained traction online.
Public Reactions and Social Media Buzz
The clip generated strong responses across social media, with many aiming at VDM. @unusualphyna commented: "Na Betrayal na. His on crack," while @abdull_royalty wrote: "E no go better for anybody wey dey support verydarkman." @chulo_monie5 said: "Team Mr p stand here and laugh." @goodnesscamella reacted: "Vdm cup don finally full."
@dj_xcino shared: "She is actually saying the truth." @rvdxo_official noted: "VDM really did not need to involve himself in all this." @opionku wrote: "Vdm power too strong oo, I want to react but i can't one bad is fair enough he ain't perfect, if you still support him gather here cause the thing dey mad me bro."
Context: P-Square Feud and VDM's Role
This development comes amid the ongoing feud between P-Square brothers Peter and Paul Okoye and their elder brother, Jude Okoye. Legit.ng had reported that the feud continued to stir reactions online as popular lifestyle twins Moses and Michael Ogunsunlade shared their blunt take on the family rift in a video making the rounds on social media. The twins argued that Peter and Paul gave Jude the opening he needed to drive a wedge between them, sparking further debate among social media users over who bears more blame for the breakdown in the brothers' relationship.
VDM has been a controversial figure in Nigerian social media, often involving himself in celebrity disputes. His recent arrest by the EFCC and subsequent release had drawn public support from various quarters, including Peter Okoye, which the woman in the video highlighted as a point of contradiction.
Impact and Ongoing Discussion
The woman's allegations have added a new dimension to the P-Square feud, with many social media users questioning VDM's motives and actions. The video has been widely shared, and the hashtag #VDM has trended on multiple occasions as netizens weigh in on the controversy. As of this report, neither Peter Okoye nor VDM has issued an official statement responding to the woman's claims.
The incident underscores the complex dynamics of celebrity activism and the expectations placed on public figures to intervene in personal crises. It also highlights the risks of financial scams, particularly for vulnerable individuals, and the emotional toll such experiences can take.
