VeryDarkMan released – Lawyer
By John Ogunsemore
Social media personality, Martins Otse popularly known as Very Dark Man has been released from police custody hours after being arrested for alleged defamation.
His lawyer, Deji Adeyanju confirmed this in an X post on Sunday.
In an earlier post, Adeyanju said Very Dark Man was arrested on the orders of the Commissioner of Police of the FCT Command over alleged defamation.
“Our client, @thatverydarkman has just been arrested by the police on the instruction of CP Igwe for exposing someone who allegedly duped a Nigerian abroad.
“Instead of the police to arrest the person alleged to have duped someone, they arrested VDM on allegation of defamation,” Adeyanju tweeted.
Barely four hours later, he added, “VDM released.”
In May, Very Dark Man was arrested and arraigned at the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja over allegations of
cyberstalking involving Nollywood actresses Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dike, to which he pleaded not guilty.
He was subsequently granted bail.
