Social media activist, Martins Vincent Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, has challenged Assistant Inspector-General of Police, AIG Moshood Jimoh, to publicly respond to allegations that he conspired to frame a businessman, Ahmed Tajudeen Akanbi, in a murder case.
VeryDarkMan had made the allegation in a video shared on his official social media page, where he questioned the handling of the investigation into the death of Sheriff Salami and accused the officer of compromising the integrity of the criminal justice process.
According to the activist, the AIG allegedly worked with Aare Bashiru Fakorede to implicate Akanbi in the murder despite earlier confessions by suspects that did not mention his name.
VeryDarkMan said, “Do you know what it means that two businessmen are fighting and one uses a senior police officer to frame the other for murder because they want to get rid of him?
“I just want you to respond to the heavy allegations I laid against you. I said you conspired with Aare Fakorede to set up and pin murder on Ahmed Tajudeen Akanbi. I want you to respond.”
He alleged that police investigators arrested an initial suspect on January 6, 2026, whose confession reportedly identified other individuals linked to the killing but did not mention Akanbi.
VeryDarkMan further claimed that another suspect arrested later also gave a confession which, according to him, did not implicate Akanbi.
The activist alleged that the suspects were later compelled to make fresh statements implicating the businessman after being subjected to torture.
He also displayed what he described as part of a statement from one of the suspects, in which the suspect allegedly claimed he was tortured and pressured to falsely implicate Akanbi.
According to the statement read by VeryDarkMan, the suspect alleged that he was repeatedly tortured by police officers and acted under duress after witnessing another detainee allegedly die in custody.
“This was why the first statement recorded in a video does not tally with the second statement that was written down. Now this is their third statement when the case was taken away from you,” VeryDarkMan alleged.
The activist argued that the allegations raise concerns about the credibility of Nigeria’s justice system and called on the officer to publicly address the claims.
“We are talking about the integrity of the justice system of Nigeria,” he said.
Following the initial allegations, AIG Moshood Jimoh appeared on TVC where he denied wrongdoing.
However, in the latest video, VeryDarkMan insisted the officer had failed to directly address the specific allegations raised against him and challenged him to publicly respond
