Popular Nigerian influencer, VeryDarkMan, has criticized actress Tonto Dikeh following a viral video showing her leading a “deliverance” session during a school visit.
The incident occurred on Friday, March 6, 2026, when Tonto 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 explained that as she and her team were preparing to leave, she sensed a “spirit of death” in the area.
She said she immediately alerted her team, and the group began praying.
The prayers reportedly evolved into a deliverance session involving some of the students.
Reacting to the clips, VeryDarkMan condemned the event, urging Tonto Dikeh to refrain from involving children in such dramatic spiritual displays online.
He also warned the actress to avoid the school, noting that it is situated within his community.
He added that rather than staging public deliverance sessions, the actress should focus on offering tangible support.
VeryDarkMan highlighted his personal contribution to the school, saying he had renovated parts of the facility to encourage and support 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.
