VeryDarkMan Slams Tonto Dikeh Over Viral School Deliverance Video

Popular Nigerian influencer VeryDarkMan has criticized actress Tonto Dikeh following a viral video showing her leading a deliverance session during a visit to a school.

The incident reportedly occurred on Friday, March 6, 2026, after Tonto Dikeh shared several clips on Instagram documenting what she described as a spiritual encounter during an evangelism outreach.

In the video clips, the actress explained that she sensed what she described as a spirit of death while preparing to leave the school premises.

She said she immediately informed members of her team before they began praying at the location.

The prayer session later developed into what appeared to be a deliverance exercise involving some of the students present at the school.

Reacting to the viral footage, VeryDarkMan criticized the actress and urged her not to involve children in what he described as dramatic spiritual displays on social media.

The influencer also warned Tonto Dikeh to avoid the school, noting that the institution is located within his community.

VeryDarkMan argued that public deliverance sessions were unnecessary and advised the actress to focus more on providing meaningful support to the children.

He also revealed that he had personally contributed to improving the school environment by renovating parts of the facility to encourage the students.

In a strongly worded Instagram post, he stated that children in the community should not be used to demonstrate spiritual powers or online content.

VeryDarkMan added that while prayers are important, they should be complemented with practical efforts to improve people’s lives.
