Nigerian social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) has announced his withdrawal from the ongoing dispute involving members of the P-Square family following mounting pressure from social media users to stay out of the matter.
VDM had faced criticism over his defence of Jude Okoye and his comments regarding allegations made by Peter Okoye against his twin brother, Paul Okoye, and their elder brother, Jude.
The controversy intensified after Peter presented evidence relating to the dispute, prompting several Nigerian and international celebrities to publicly express support for him.
Liberian actor Frank Artus also criticised VeryDarkMan's involvement, urging him to "stay off Okoye's family."
Responding to the backlash, VeryDarkMan said he would no longer involve himself in the family saga.
He said:
“I just want to make one point about this P-Square thing, I see a lot of people saying VDM, you are sounding as if Jude did not have a fault in all of this. As if Jude is innocent and Peter is just saying all of this without trigger.
“Well personally after listening to Jude and Peter, if you ask me who to put the blame on, I will say I will put 40 percent of the blame on Jude, and I put 30 percent of the blame on Peter, and another 30 percent on the wife, the family and everybody.
“And to the people insulting me, it is not a crime. You can insult people. Now there’s balance in views in the P-Square matter.”
He also disclosed that he would now focus on preparing to appear before a police panel over his allegations against AIG Jimoh Moshood.
His decision to step away from the P-Square controversy has since generated mixed reactions online, with some applauding his move while others continued to debate his earlier involvement in the family dispute.
