Popular Nigerian social media personality and influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, known widely as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has been arrested by the Nigerian police in Abuja.
The arrest reportedly followed his public criticism of Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) over alleged unauthorised transactions from his mother’s account.
His lawyer, Barrister Deji Adeyanju, confirmed the development to The Guardian on Friday in Abuja, revealing that officers of the Nigeria Police Force apprehended VeryDarkMan at Area 3 in Abuja.
He said, “VDM arrested by the police at GTB. Spoke to them before he was arrested. This is absolutely unacceptable. Demanding accountability is not a crime.
“A team of policemen arrested VDM at GTB. He was arrested with his friend C Park, but they left his mom alone.”
