Controversial social media critic VeryDarkMan, real name Martin Otse, remains in detention despite earlier reports of his release. New developments indicate that Otse might be held until September due to a breach of court rules.

Otse, who was supposed to be released on bail, is still in detention after a video of him in court was leaked to Instablog, despite the judge’s explicit warning against recording.

This incident has led to the delay in his bail process, with the appropriate authorities refusing to sign the release documents, suspecting someone from Otse’s camp was responsible for the leak.

This setback is particularly concerning as the Nigerian High Court Judges are scheduled to go on vacation next month, potentially delaying Otse’s case until their return in September.

VeryDarkMan was initially detained on charges of cyberstalking and posting offensive content about Nollywood actresses Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh. His ongoing detention highlights the complexities and challenges in high-profile legal battles in the digital age.
