Investigations suggest that the accusations stem from an alleged campaign of online harassment and blackmail targeted at an unnamed businessman based in Abuja.

The alleged incidents reportedly occurred between August and September 2024, during which Miss Nneji and a group of acquaintances are believed to have circulated damaging content across social media platforms, aimed at discrediting the victim.

VDM threatens legal actions

The case reportedly began gaining wider attention in late September 2024 when social media personality and activist Martins Vincent Otse, known to his followers as Verydarkman, weighed in on the matter.

On September 24, 2024, Otse issued a public ultimatum to Miss Nneji in a video that went viral, demanding that she retract the alleged defamatory posts and issue an apology to the businessman involved.

“Failure to do so within 24 hours,” Otse warned in the video, “I will go after her with evidence.”

The activist, known for his controversial takes and investigative commentary on online trends and personalities, did not reveal the full details of the evidence he claimed to possess, but his intervention brought increased scrutiny to the case.

At the time of publication, there has been no official response from either Miss Nneji or representatives of ABC Transport regarding the police declaration or the allegations levied against her.

The police have urged anyone with useful information regarding Miss Nneji’s whereabouts to come forward, assuring that confidentiality would be maintained.

The wanted notice has been met with mixed reaction from the public, with some saying expending the Police's resources over the case is a misplaced priority.
