Reported by Mustapha Labake Omowumi (journalist) | Sele Media Africa
In a development that has captured national attention, Pastor Mark Miracle of Prestige Gospel Centre has publicly cautioned social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, following a staged death and mock burial that went viral over the weekend. The online stunt, which showed the influencer lying in a coffin and being lowered into the ground, stirred widespread confusion and concern among his followers and the broader Nigerian public.
Spiritual Warning Amid Social Media Spectacle
Addressing his congregation on Sunday, March 1, Pastor Mark warned that simulating death could have serious spiritual and personal consequences. He described such acts as dangerously provocative, saying they could “dare the spirits of death” and endanger the wellbeing of participants. He further urged followers to discourage similar theatrics and called for reflection, spiritual cleansing, and deliverance instead of celebrating such stunts.
Escalating Online Feuds and Death Hoaxes
VeryDarkMan’s stunt follows a broader feud with fellow content creator King Mitchy (Mukoro Michelle), who was previously subjected to online death rumors after livestreaming the ingestion of harmful substances. Authorities, including Primecare Hospital in Abuja, denied her death, confirming she was not admitted to their facility and threatened legal action against those spreading false information.
The feud between the two influencers has since escalated, with dramatic and misleading claims about each other’s demise amplifying public alarm and raising concerns over the spread of misinformation. Analysts highlight that such content, while attention-grabbing, poses risks to impressionable audiences and public safety.
Legal and Social Implications
VeryDarkMan, a polarizing internet activist with millions of followers, has faced legal scrutiny in the past over his online activities. The episode underscores the tension between digital influence, public accountability, and the responsibilities of content creators in a rapidly evolving social media landscape.
Call for Responsible Online Behavior
As the story unfolds, advocates for digital safety are urging creators and followers alike to avoid stunts that could cause real-world harm. Experts continue to stress the importance of verifying information before sharing, especially when content involves claims of death or other extreme acts.
