Martins Vincent Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, a social media activist, has been arrested again by Nigerian police.
Mr. Deji Adeyanju, his attorney, confirmed on Sunday that his client had been arrested once more.
He also said that VeryDarkMan had been detained for exposing a person who had allegedly duped a Nigerian overseas.
Deji further stated that Verydarkman was taken into custody on the instructions of Commissioner of Police Benneth Igwe, with charges related to defamation.
He wondered why the police arrested the activist instead of going after the person who allegedly duped someone.
The arrest has sparked controversy, with many questioning the police’s priorities in handling the situation.
