VeryDarkMan arrested by police in Abuja

Nigerian social media personality and influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, better known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has been arrested by the Nigerian police in Abuja. 

His lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, confirmed the arrest on his X account on Friday, May 2. 

The arrest took place in a Nigerian bank in Abuja. 

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 officially comment on the arrest. 

Recall that police in November 2024 detained VDM after he honoured their invitation.
