The Presidency has called for legal action against social media influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), over an audio recording allegedly linked to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu circulating online.
Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, accused the influencer of spreading false information through social media platforms.
Onanuga made the allegation in a post shared on his X handle on Wednesday while reacting to controversy surrounding the audio recording purportedly attributed to the President.

“This VDM needs to face the weight of the law for being the conveyor and disseminator of a fake audio of President Tinubu. This is a clear case of an egregious abuse of the social media platform,” Onanuga wrote.
The presidential aide’s reaction followed comments by another X user identified as Aneex, who questioned claims that the voice in the recording belonged to Tinubu.
The user reportedly described the audio as “cheap propaganda” and accused VDM of taking advantage of public sentiment to circulate misleading content online.
The controversy has since generated widespread reactions across social media platforms, with users debating the authenticity of the recording and raising concerns about the increasing spread of unverified information in the digital space.
