Social Media activist, Martins Vincent Otse, a.k.a VeryDarkMan (VDM), has been taken into custody by the Nigerian Police Force in Abuja.
The arrest reportedly occurred after he publicly criticized Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) over what he described as unauthorized withdrawals from his mother’s bank account.
His legal representative, Barrister Deji Adeyanju, confirmed the incident via Twitter on Friday. According to him, VDM was apprehended by police officers stationed at Area 3 in Abuja.
JUST IN: VDM arrested by the police at GTB. Spoke to them before he was arrested. This is absolutely unacceptable. Demanding accountability is not a crime,” Adeyanju tweeted.
Providing further details, the lawyer added, “A team of policemen arrested VDM at GTB. He was arrested with his friend C Park but they left his mom alone.”
