Controversial social media activist, Martins Otse—popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM)—has been re-arraigned by the Nigeria Police Force before a Federal High Court in Abuja on charges of cyberbullying several Nigerian celebrities, including Nollywood actresses Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh.
VDM was re-arraigned on Thursday, May 15, 2025, before Justice Musa Liman on a five-count charge. He pleaded not guilty to all allegations.
The police further accused him of cyberbullying Nigerian music producer and singer, Samuel Oguachuba (popularly known as Samklef), among others.
This re-arraignment follows VDM’s recent release from detention by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), where he was held over unrelated allegations of fraud.
