Popular social media influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), was on Friday arrested by the Nigeria Police in Abuja.
This was confirmed by his lawyer, Adeyanju, in a post on his X account on Friday.
He 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.
“A team of policemen arrested VDM at GTB. He was arrested with his friend C Park, but they left his mum alone.”
Meanwhile, in an update later in the evening, the lawyer said VeryDarkMan was being detained by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.
According to him, "Our lawyers led by the Head of our firm @Marvin_Omorogbe just met VDM’s friend who was arrested together with him in EFCC custody.
"VDM refused to come out of the cell; that he won’t see anyone. VDM was locked inside the GTB exit door for over 5mins to enable EFCC arrest him and his friend. We will be taking legal actions against GTB for the inhumane treatment meted out to our client."
