Here is a brief summary about the case involving Ahmed Tajudeen Akanbi (popularly known as Ahmed Ajiran)
The Core Murder CaseThe Crime:
Ahmed Ajiran is facing charges as the principal suspect in the brutal murders of youth leader Sheriff Ishola Salami and Prince Kazeem Ademola Akinloye. The victims were killed in separate incidents between 2023 and 2024 within the Eti-Osa local government area of Lagos.
The Arrest:
Two other arrested suspects, Shafi Fatai ("Fabo") and Yusuf Ismaila ("Bariga"), allegedly confessed to the police that Ahmed Ajiran financed and orchestrated the killings, mentioning separate payments running into millions of naira. Following an international manhunt, Ahmed Ajiran was apprehended by INTERPOL in the Benin Republic in April 2026 and extradited back to Nigeria.
VDM's Involvement and the ControversyThe Allegations:
Outspoken social media activist VeryDarkMan (VDM) uploaded a series of "investigation" videos. He publicly accused the Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG) Zone 2, Olohundare Moshood Jimoh, of being "extremely corrupt".
The Claim:
VDM claimed the senior police officer compromised the case and tried to forcefully implicate Ahmed Ajiran by tampering with or altering initial statements made by the other suspects to manipulate the narrative. VDM claimed someone was heavily "bankrolling" the police system to control the outcome.
Current StatusThe Backlash against VDM:
Multiple civil society organisations—including the Centre for Human and Socio-Economic Rights (CHSR) and the South West Youth Alliance (SWYA)—have strongly defended AIG Jimoh. They have dismissed VDM’s claims as a baseless "trial by social media," stating that official documents perfectly align with the police’s actions. AIG Jimoh has stated he will not engage in social media debates over an active court case and challenged anyone with actual evidence to bring it to the courtroom.
The Court Proceedings:
Ahmed Ajiran's trial is currently active. He was recently remanded to the Ikoyi Custodial Centre by the Lagos State High Court. His appearance has faced delays due to severe health issues, prompting him to be brought to court in an ambulance during recent June 2026 hearings.
