Popular social activist Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, has called for an investigation into Favour Obakoro, Senior Special Assistant on Morals and Diaspora Affairs to Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, over an alleged fraud involving N100 million.

In a video shared on his Instagram account on Monday, Otse accused Obakoro of using her office and company, Vida Modelo, to defraud individuals.

Otse urged Governor Oborevwori to dismiss Obakoro, warning that individuals like her could damage both the state’s reputation and that of the governor, who was recently named “Governor of the Year.” He stressed that such allegations could undermine Oborevwori’s credibility.

According to Otse, Obakoro allegedly promised clients that her company offered a reliable investment opportunity, assuring them that, as a youth ambassador with integrity, they would receive a refund if the deal failed. However, when victims requested their refunds, Otse claimed Obakoro refused and threatened them, saying they should not contact her further as she only engaged in legitimate business. She is also said to have boasted about taking her petition to various police stations.

The victims, feeling exploited, have accused Obakoro of abusing her position for personal gain.

Otse has provided videos and photographs to support his claims and revealed that Obakoro has allegedly scammed several Nigerians.

The activist has vowed to take further action, insisting that Obakoro return the funds within four days of the video’s publication.
