Police arrest VeryDarkMan inside bank in Abuja
The Nigerian Police Force has arrested popular social media influencer Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), in Abuja.
The arrest, which took place inside a Guaranty Trust Bank (GTB) branch in Abuja, was confirmed by his lawyer, Denise Adeyanju, who shared the news via X (formerly Twitter) on Friday.
Adeyanju wrote: “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.”
In a follow-up message, Adeyanju added: “A team of policemen arrested VDM at GTB. He was arrested alongside his friend C Park, but they left his mother alone.”
Details surrounding the incident remain unclear, with further information expected to emerge soon. As of now, the police have not officially commented on the arrest.
This is not the first time VDM has had a run-in with the police; in November 2024, he was detained after honoring a police invitation.
