  • Very Dark Man has been arrested again barely 3 weeks after he was released from police custody.
  • The influencer allegedly exposed a fraudster who duped a Nigerian abroad.
  • According to his lawyer, Very Dark Man was arrested by the Police instead of the reported scammer.

Social media influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as Very Dark Man has been rearrested by the Nigerian police.

His lawyer, Mr Deji Adeyanju on Sunday, June 30 disclosed that his client has again been arrested, adding that Very Dark Man was apprehended for exposing someone who allegedly duped a Nigerian abroad. 

In a post on his official account on the microblogging platform, X,Deji Adeyanju wrote:

“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.”

It was learnt that the influencer was arrested on the orders of Commissioner of Police in charge of the Federal Capital Territory Police Command, Mr Benneth Igwe.

On Monday, June 10, 2024, a Federal High Court in Abuja granted bail to the social media influencer.

Very Dark Man was subsequently released from police custody after satisfying his bail condition. 

He was arraigned on five counts bordering on cyberstalking.

The police prosecuting team told Justice Mobolaji Olajuwon of the Federal High Court that they needed more time to respond to the application and they were subsequently obliged by the court.

The police prosecution moved to have the Very Dark Man remanded in prison but his lawyers made an application for him to be kept in police custody.

The court granted their request and he was subsequently taken to the National Cybercrime Centre.
