Controversial Social media influencer Martin Otse also known VeryDarkMan has regained his freedom after more than two weeks in detention.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that a video of his release went viral on social media on Monday.
Recall, the popular critic was arraigned on May 22 on five counts of cyberstalking involving the police and actresses Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh.
He pleaded not guilty.
He was, however, remanded in prison by justice Mobolaji Olajuwon after the police said they needed more time to respond to the influencer’s lawyer Deji Adeyanju’s bail application.
The prosecution sought to have the blogger remanded in prison custody, but his lawyers successfully argued for his remand in police custody instead.
The court granted this request, and Verydarkman was subsequently taken to the National Cybercrime Centre.
Charge one reads that Verydarkman on October 29, 2023 posted a video on his Instagram handle that contained offensive information, where he alleged that Iyabo Ojo had an indecent sexual relationship with her daughter.
Charge two reads that the social critic posted a video on January 19, 2024, on Instagram where he falsely accused Nollywood actress cum politician, Tonto Dikeh of criminal conversion of crowdfunding proceeds and being behind the Gistlover blog, intending to cause annoyance, inconvenience, and other harm.
Charge four reads that Verydarkman posted a video on March 19, 2024, claiming that crossdresser Bobrisky was pimping young boys to senators and senior police officers, intending to cause annoyance, inconvenience, and other harm.
