The Nigeria Police Force has detained the well-known social media influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, also known as Verydarkman.
VeryDarkMan was reportedly arrested on the directive of the Police Commissioner of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Command, Igwe.
According to activist lawyer Deji Adeyanju, VeryDarkMan was detained for allegedly revealing the identity of a Nigerian individual who allegedly defrauded someone overseas.
Adeyanju reported that the polarizing social media influencer was detained on charges of 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.”
