The spokesperson of the command, Josephine Adeh, in a statement, said VeryDarkMan was invited for questioning on allegations of cyber stalking, cyber bullying, and defamation of character.

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command, on Sunday, clarified that social media activist, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, was not arrested but was invited for questioning.

The spokesperson of the command, Josephine Adeh, in a statement, said VeryDarkMan was invited for questioning on allegations of cyber stalking, cyber bullying, and defamation of character. PlayMute Fullscreen Adeh stated,

“The FCT Police Command wishes to clarify that VeryDarkMan was not arrested by the police but was only invited for questioning on the allegations of cyber stalking, cyber bullying, and defamation of character.”

VeryDarkMan has since been released after voluntarily providing his statement regarding the allegations. Recall that activist, Deji Adeyanju told Daily Post that VeryDarkMan was arrested for allegedly exposing a Nigerian who reportedly duped somebody abroad.

The arrest was allegedly carried out on the orders of the Police Commissioner of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command, Benneth Igweh. 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.”

He noted how when she turned 10, he would talk to her about school and her future and when she turned 20, he encouraged her to listen and understand the importance of morals and well-being, even as she sought independence.

Now that she is 30, he is talking marriage to her, as he demanded she brings him a husband.

“Princess Adeola, Aanuoluwapo, Atutunini, Bamdefe Ogunwusi, Omo Ojaja II. I am truly grateful for the fulfilling life you have lived. May God Almighty continue to be with you in all your endeavors. Amen! When you turned 10, your father would talk to you about school and your future. At 20, he encouraged you to listen and understand the importance of morals and well-being, even as you sought independence. Now that you are 30, you are a grown woman.

Your father senses that you no longer wish to be advised as independence has finally set in. I talked 10 to you and I got your subtle independence behaviour in return, I talked 20 to you and still got your near obvious independence behaviour in return. Now I’m talking 30 to a grown woman, so go and bring husband to daddy o… With love from the throne of Oduduwa. Congratulations, and may God continue to guide you in all your pursuits”.
