Ihuoma Julia Nneji, daughter of ABC Transport founder Frank Nneji, has filed a defamation lawsuit against social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM). The lawsuit, submitted to the Federal High Court in Abuja, also names social media influencer Kemi Olunloye and legal practitioner Henry Ikenna Uzochukwu as co-defendants. 

The legal action stems from allegations made by VDM, who accused Ihuoma of making unverified claims about her ex-husband's family. Additionally, she was alleged to have misrepresented herself as an "American travel nurse" while actually being a care worker. Further claims suggested she had undergone multiple cosmetic surgeries, including a Brazilian Butt Lift (BBL) and other intimate procedures. 

This lawsuit has ignited discussions on social media, with various reactions from the public. Some users criticized Ihuoma for allegedly tarnishing her family's reputation, while others questioned her personal decisions. 

This legal battle adds to a series of lawsuits faced by VDM. In October 2024, Esinjemiyotan, the wife of comedian Mr. Jollof, filed a ₦500 million lawsuit against VDM for alleged defamation, following his claims about her personal life and her husband's professional engagements. 

As the case progresses, it highlights the growing tensions between public figures and social media influencers in Nigeria, raising questions about the boundaries of online commentary and personal privacy.
