Popular Nigerian social media influencer, Martin Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has issued a warning to Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh over a viral video showing her conducting what appeared to be a deliverance session with students during a school visit.
The influencer reacted after the actress shared videos from an evangelism outreach she held at a school on Friday, March 6, 2026.
The clips, posted on her Instagram page, captured moments from what she described as a spiritual encounter that occurred while she and her team were preparing to leave the premises.
Responding to the development, VeryDarkMan criticized the act and cautioned the actress against returning to the school, which he said is located within his community.
He argued that children in the area should not be involved in dramatic spiritual activities, especially for online content.
“With all due respect to Tonto Dikeh… this is a warning, do not come to my area to do this again… na only poor man children good to test your powers. Leave my area kids alone. We want to raise kids with real-life orientation, not an ideology that if you don’t make it there is something following you from the village. Prayers are good; however, without work, prayers are not useful. Take your new content somewhere else. Leave ghetto kids alone,” he wrote in the Instagram caption.
VeryDarkMan also noted that he had previously supported the school by renovating parts of the facility in a bid to improve the learning environment for the students.
According to him, practical support such as improving infrastructure and providing opportunities for the children should take priority over staging public deliverance sessions.
In the videos shared online, Dikeh explained that she sensed what she called a “spirit of death” around the school environment as she and her team were about to leave.
She said she alerted members of her group, after which they began praying, a moment that later developed into what appeared to be a deliverance session involving some of the students.
