A social media critic, Martins Otse, better known as Verydarkman has regained his freedom from police custody in Abuja.
Lawyer and Activist Deji Adeyanju confirmed Otse’s release on Sunday.
“After five days of back and forth, we have secured VDM’s release. Thank you to everyone that made this happen especially Sowore, Kefiano & VDM’s wonderful lawyers,” Adeyanju posted on X.
The 27-year-old, according to former presidential candidate, Omoyele Sowore was remanded for alleged cyberbullying.
Sowore said the police were misusing their power and colluding with powerful people in the country to oppress others.
Punch Online reports that this is the second time the critic will be arrested this year.
