Leave My Area Kids Out Of Your Spiritual Displays, VDM Warns Tonto Dikeh

Popular Nigerian influencer, Martin Vincent Otse, popularly called VeryDarkMan (VDM) has warned actress Tonto Dikeh, to keep children in his community out of what he described as dramatic spiritual displays, following a viral video showing her conducting a deliverance session during a school visit.

The criticism came after Dikeh shared several clips on her Instagram page documenting what she described as a spiritual encounter during an evangelism outreach at a school on Friday, March 6, 2026.

Reacting to the clips, VeryDarkMan condemned the development and urged the actress to refrain from involving children in dramatic spiritual displays online.

He also warned the actress to avoid the school, noting that it is located within his community.

The influencer added that rather than staging public deliverance sessions, Dikeh should focus on offering tangible support to the students.

VeryDarkMan also highlighted his personal contribution to the school, stating that he had previously renovated parts of the facility to support the students and improve their learning environment.

“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.

In the videos, the actress explained that as she and her team were preparing to leave the premises, she sensed what she described as a “spirit of death” in the area.

According to her, she immediately alerted members of her team and they began praying. The prayers later developed into what appeared to be a deliverance session involving some of the students.
