Popular Activist ‘VeryDarkMan’ Arrested by Police at GTBank

Nigerian Police Force has arrested social media influencer Martins Vincent Otse, better known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), at Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) in Abuja.

His attorney, Denise Adeyanju, confirmed the arrest via his X account on Friday

Adeyanju wrote. “JUST IN: VDM arrested by the police at GTB. Spoke to them before he was arrested. This is absolutely unacceptable. Demanding accountability is not a crime.”

In a follow-up message, he added, “A team of policemen arrested VDM at GTB. He was arrested with his friend C Park, but they left his mum alone.”

The police are yet to provide an official statement regarding the situation.
