Popular Nigerian influencer and activist, VeryDarkMan has criticised Tonto Dikeh after a viral video showed the actress leading what appeared to be a “deliverance” session during a visit to a school.
The incident occurred on Friday, March 6, 2026, when Dikeh shared several clips on her Instagram page documenting what she described as a spiritual encounter during an evangelism outreach at the school.
In the videos, the actress said 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.
She explained that she immediately informed members of her team and they began praying.
The prayers later developed into a deliverance session that reportedly involved some of the students.
Reacting to the clips, VeryDarkMan condemned the incident and urged the actress not to involve children in what he described as dramatic spiritual displays on social media.
He also warned Dikeh to stay away from the school, stating that the institution is located within his community.
The influencer added that instead of organising public deliverance sessions, the actress should focus on providing practical assistance to the students.
VeryDarkMan also highlighted his personal efforts to support the school, stating that he had renovated parts of the facility to encourage and assist the students.
“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 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.
