Philanthropist and content creator, Mitchell Mukoro, popularly known as King Mitchy, has come under intense scrutiny following a social media clash that spiralled far beyond a school renovation project in Delta State.
King Mitchy, who is known for sharing videos of her charitable interventions, had announced that she renovated a dilapidated school within six days. In a celebratory video posted online, she suggested that the project was proof that meaningful change could happen swiftly when there was genuine intent.
However, what appeared to be a straightforward goodwill gesture soon took a controversial turn after she made comments widely interpreted as subtle jabs at a popular activist, Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan.
In one of her posts, she wrote, “I have never seen anyone with integrity explain everyday that he/ she has integrity. I did this in six days to show you how easy it is if you truly want to do something. Lastly, I know a lot of damaged schools. Government teachers even pray for you on top.”
She further alleged, “Yo, this guy planted someone to work at my restaurant to get information but he did not see any tangible thing talk about me.”
Her remarks triggered a sharp response from VeryDarkMan, who accused her of being used as a political pawn to launder the image of President Bola Tinubu’s administration. In a video posted on his page, he claimed that her intervention in the education sector was politically motivated.
Tagging the President’s son, Seyi Tinubu, he wrote, “@Seyitinubu YOUR FATHER FIRST 4years failed so bad that ministry of education stopped working, so you need mitchy to renovate schools (CITY BOY MOVEMENT, RTIFN, MITCHYY) these are product of your father’s failures, @officialasiwajubat won’t need michyy and co if his first term was good… THAT POLITICAL TOOL YOU PEOPLE KEPT UNDER THE DEPARTMENT OF D and charity.”
King Mitchy issued a stern warning, stating, “Bro, I promise you this. The day you come for me will be the beginning of your downfall.”
As the exchanges intensified, VeryDarkMan later alleged in another video that both Seyi Tinubu and King Mitchy were threatening his life. He said, “Nigerians, in respect to what is going on now, they are beginning to threaten my life. Seyi Tinubu and King Mitchy are threatening my life.”
Amid the back and forth, some social media users questioned the extent of the renovation after clips surfaced showing sections of the school building still appearing partially damaged.
In what many perceived as a move to clear the air, King Mitchy subsequently shared transaction receipts relating to the project, indicating that she spent over N1m on the renovation.
