VDM Vows to Reopen Mohbad’s Death Case, Hints at New Evidence: “Zlatan is Still Alive”

• VDM insisted Mohbad has not been given the justice he deserves, and he’s now taking matters into his own hands again.
• VDM hinted that rapper Zlatan Ibile may somehow be connected to what he described as “the next evidence
• He said it’s a deliberate push for accountability, insisting he has nothing to gain but everything to uncover

Nigerian activist and controversial internet personality, VeryDarkMan (VDM), has stirred fresh reactions online after revealing that he plans to reopen public conversation surrounding the tragic death of Nigerian singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.

Mohbad died under mysterious circumstances on September 12, 2023, sparking national outrage and protests, with many Nigerians demanding an investigation into what they believed was a suspicious and avoidable death.

In an Instagram post shared on Saturday, June 28, 2025, VDM announced that he’s reviving the singer's case because “justice has not been served.”

The activist wrote:

“I’m bringing back Mohbad’s case deliberately because justice has not been served,”

The post immediately went viral, with thousands of Nigerians reposting and commenting on the sensitive case that has remained largely unresolved nearly two years later.

In what seemed like a teaser to more revelations, VDM made a cryptic statement:

“Zlatan is still alive… wait for the next evidence.”

He did not offer further explanation, but the mention of rapper Zlatan Ibile raised eyebrows and triggered speculation on what role — if any — the artist may play in the next phase of the Mohbad investigation.
