He was re-arraigned on a five-count charge bordering on cyberstalking and the alleged dissemination of offensive content through his social media platforms.
The Inspector-General of Police has re-arraigned social media influencer, Martins Otse, known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), before Justice Musa Liman of the Federal High Court in Abuja over allegations of cyberbullying actresses Iyabo Ojo, Tonto Dikeh, and music producer Samuel ‘Samklef’ Oguachuba.
Otse was re-arraigned on a five-count charge bordering on cyberstalking and the alleged dissemination of offensive content through his social media platforms. He, however, pleaded not guilty to all charges.
His counsel, Deji Adeyanju, prayed the court to allow the defendant to continue on the earlier bail granted by Justice Mobolaji Olajuwon of a sister court.
The prosecution counsel representing the Inspector-General of Police, Victor Okoye, did not oppose the application.
Justice Liman subsequently itted the defendant to the previous bail and adjourned the matter until 24 July 2025 for the commencement of the trial.
VDM was initially arraigned on 22 May 2024 before Justice Olajuwon on the same offences, which are contrary to and punishable under Section 24 of the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, etc) Act, 2015.
Following his remand, he was granted bail on 10 June 2024 to the sum of ₦10 million, with two sureties — either employees of reputable organisations or federal civil servants of not less than Level 17, with evidence of three years’ tax clearance.
However, the case was reassigned to Justice Liman following the transfer of Justice Olajuwon to another division of the Federal High Court.
According to the charge sheet, in Count One, Otse was alleged to have, on or about 13 October 2023, posted a video on his Instagram (@verydarkblackman) containing threatening and bullying statements directed at Samklef.
In Count Two, he was accused of intentionally posting, on or about 29 October 2023, videos containing offensive, pornographic, indecent, obscene, or menacing content targeting actress Iyabo Ojo.
In the said video, he allegedly claimed that “one Iyabo Ojo is having an indecent sexual relationship with her daughter.”
Count Three alleges that, on or about 19 January 2024, VDM falsely published via Instagram that actress Tonto Dikeh had diverted proceeds from a crowdfunding campaign for the “Justice for Mohbad” movement and that she was the person behind the anonymous blog ‘Gistlover.’
In Count Four, Otse was alleged to have, on or about 19 March 2024, intentionally posted content considered annoying and insulting towards Deputy Inspectors-General of Police and of the National Assembly.
The trial is expected to begin in July.

Who is VDM in the scheme of things? Has VDM said more than Sowore or Peter Obi? Why are those not arrested?
A day without some of you blaming FG for all the life's woes is an incomplete day
So VDM'S case is no longer about GTB. So what would happen to those who emotionally closed their s with the GTB?

There was reasonable pending petitions against VDM before the bill was ed. There was even a time he had a court case and travelled to China and still posting videos.
He overrate himself. Who is he? Those who might have come out for him, he has attacked them unnecessarily .
He can't even win reasonable of the petitions against him, except if they just want to pardon him.

There is an existing law against cyber bullying. It just that it was recently expanded to recognize other forms of cyber bullying.

I think Linda Ikeji learned something from pokenosing into others private affairs when people also start pokenosing into her private life.
There is no gain in being controversial. The consequences don't worth it.
They can prolong his court case to a year plus. Are you not going to pay your lawyers, settle one or two things

Your statement is factually incorrect
This case started BEFORE he talked about Seyi.
This is something that can be easily fact checked
I do not know why we have a problem with logic and facts in this country
There was a complaint LAST YEAR
He was charged and is ON BAIL with the case ADJOURNED
The adjourned case has resumed
So assuming he did not talk about Seyi
What would have happened to that case?
