The Nigerian Police Force has reportedly arrested well-known social media personality Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), in Abuja.
His lawyer, Denise Adeyanju, confirmed the arrest in a statement shared via his X account on Friday, revealing that the incident occurred at a GTBank branch in the capital city.
“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,” Adeyanju wrote.
In a follow-up update, he added: “A team of policemen arrested VDM at GTB. He was taken alongside his friend, C Park, while his mother was left at the scene.”
At the time of filing this report, the details surrounding the arrest remain unclear, and the Nigerian Police Force has yet to issue an official statement.
This incident comes months after VDM was previously detained in November 2024 after honoring a police invitation related to his outspoken commentary on social issues.
