A Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail to Martin Otse, the controversial social media critic known as VeryDarkMan, who was accused of cyberbullying. Otse was released from police custody upon meeting the bail terms on Monday, although the specific conditions of his bail have not been made public.
Otse faced charges related to cyberstalking and was arraigned at the Federal High Court in Abuja on May 22. The Nigerian police charged him with posting offensive videos on his Instagram and making indecent allegations against Nollywood actresses Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh.
One of the charges alleged that Otse posted videos on his Instagram containing information that was “grossly offensive, pornographic or of an indecent, obscene, or menacing character.” Another charge claimed that Otse alleged Iyabo Ojo was having an indecent sexual relationship with her daughter. Additionally, police claimed Otse alleged that Tonto Dikeh was the person behind the gossip blog Gistlover.
Otse has denied all charges brought against him. While the prosecution requested his remand in prison, his legal team requested he remain in police custody. The court approved this request, leading to his transfer to the National Cybercrime Centre.
Our source recalls that VeryDarkMan was initially arrested on March 22 but later released on March 31. His lawyer disclosed that the arrest was based on complaints from Tonto Dikeh, Iyabo Ojo, and music producer Samklef.
