Verydarkman Not Arrested, Only Invited for Questioning – FCT Police Command.
The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has refuted widespread reports claiming that popular Nigerian social media influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, better known by his online moniker Verydarkman (VDM), was arrested. These reports, which began circulating on Sunday, suggested that VDM had been taken into custody by the Nigerian Police for allegedly uncovering a criminal act.
In a bid to set the record straight, the Police Public Relations Officer of the FCT Command, SP Josephine Adeh, addressed the media to clarify the situation. SP Adeh explained that Verydarkman was not arrested, but rather invited for questioning. She emphasized that the influencer was never detained, contradicting the earlier reports.
According to SP Adeh, VDM’s invitation was in response to allegations of cyberstalking, cyberbullying, and defamation of character. These allegations were brought forth by an individual who felt aggrieved by VDM’s online activities. The police spokeswoman elaborated that the invitation was a standard procedure aimed at ensuring both sides of the story were heard and investigated properly.
“Martins Vincent Otse, also known as Verydarkman, was invited to provide a statement regarding the allegations of cyberstalking, cyberbullying, and defamation,” SP Adeh said. “He cooperated with the police, provided his statement, and was subsequently released. At no point was he arrested or detained.”
The FCT Police Command’s swift clarification aims to dispel any misunderstandings and reassure the public about the due process being followed in handling the allegations against VDM. The Command reiterated its commitment to maintaining transparency and fairness in its operations, ensuring that justice is served without prejudice.
