Nigerian social media personality Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has been arrested by the Nigerian Police Force in Abuja.
Reports suggest the arrest is linked to his recent public criticism of Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank), following claims of unauthorized transactions on his mother’s account.
His lawyer, Barrister Deji Adeyanju, confirmed the incident on Friday via Twitter, stating that VDM was apprehended by police officers at Area 3, Abuja.
“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.
He later added that VDM was taken alongside a friend identified as C Park, while his mother was not detained.
