A Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail to Martin Otse, the infamous social media critic known as VeryDarkMan, who was charged with cyberbullying.
He was released from police custody after completing the bail conditions on Monday. However, detailed bail terms are not yet publicly available.
The Nigerian police charged the defendant for posting offensive videos on his Instagram and making indecent allegations against Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh.
One of the charges alleged that Otse posted videos on his Instagram handle containing information that was “grossly offensive, pornographic or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character”.
The court granted their motion, resulting in his transfer to the National Cybercrime Centre.
Recall that VeryDarkMan was initially arrested on March 22 but later released on March 31.
His lawyer claimed that the arrest was based on complaints from Tonto Dikeh, Iyabo Ojo and Samklef.
