The Nigerian Police Force has detained Martins Vincent Otse, also known as Verydarkman, a renowned social media influencer.
VeryDarkMan was allegedly detained on the instructions of Igwe, the Police Commissioner of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command.
Deji Adeyanju, an activist lawyer, told DAILY POST on Sunday that VeryDarkMan was detained for allegedly exposing a Nigerian who had misled someone overseas.
According to Adeyanju, the controversial social media influencer was arrested for alleged defamation.
He said: “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.”
