Speaking about Mark Angel and his exploitation, Denilson Igwe said:

DENILSON IGWE: My name is Denilson Igwe. I am a comedian and actually, I was the one that started Mark Angel Comedy. I was an orphan and Mark was the elder brother of the house. He was a security guard at Kilimanjaro, GRA, Port Harcourt. I was learning camera work from a man called Ifeanyi and I stole one of the cameras. So in our own free time, we will shoot comic videos.

Mark then suggested that we should create a Facebook page [to post our comedy videos] which I accepted not knowing even when it was monetized. I just kept filming. Then suddenly in 2014, Mark bought a car. I asked him how he was able to afford it and he lied that someone gifted him the car and I accepted. I haven’t received a dime from Mark Angel Comedy revenue then.

He started paying Emmanuella N20,000 monthly. Her parents were poor, staying in batcher, so they didn’t even know the value of what their daughter was doing. No one knew the revenue it was generating. 2016 was the first time he gave me N50,000 and told me that the comedy wasn’t generating revenue. And we were making $160,000 monthly off Mark Angel Comedy’s Facebook revenue then.

The only person that can talk about him now is me. Because why? Me, I'm an orphan, he can't kill me. People say if you talk about him, you die. I was scared, because he will just finish you, that's the truth. How it will happen is if you have problem with him, it's either you have accident or you die.
