The ongoing legal saga involving the controversial figure Verydarkman has taken an unexpected and dramatic twist.
This morning, in a highly anticipated court appearance with his lawyer Deji Adeyanju, he was reportedly granted bail, much to the surprise and relief of his supporters.
Verydarkman, who had been entangled in a heated legal feud over cyberbullying charges, had spent several weeks abandoned in law enforcement custody.
Nigerian social media influencer and critic, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as Verydarkman, resumed court proceedings this morning and the outcome has ignited a wave of excitement among his supporters, including celebrity blogger Tunde Ednut.
It was earlier reported that the social media critic was earlier arraigned by the Nigeria Police Force on five counts bordering on cyberstalking.
The police prosecution moved to have the popular social media critic remanded in prison custody but his lawyers, which includes Deji Adeyanju made an application for him to be kept in police custody.
The court granted their request and he was subsequently taken to the National Cybercrime Centre.
Deji Adeyanju also applied for bail but the prosecution team asked Justice Mobolaji Olajuwon of the Federal High Court for more time to respond, leading the court to adjourn the bail hearing to today, June 10.
Verydarkman was spotted arriving in court this morning, alongside Deji Adeyanju, while those in attendance, including supporters and spectators, were seated and anticipating the commencement of the hearing.
Renowned celebrity blogger Tunde Ednut, a close associate of VeryDarkMan, who has been actively monitoring his legal feud, shared a vital update regarding the court hearing.
Sharing a video of VeryDarkMan alongside his legal counsel in high spirits at the court premises,
Ednut disclosed that bail has been successfully secured for him.
He added that efforts are underway to fulfill the necessary conditions, expressed confidence that VeryDarkMan will be back home once these arrangements are completed.
Tunde Ednut wrote;
“THIS MORNING: VeryDarkMan seen in court this morning. Bail has been granted to him and requirements arrangements are currently being made. He will be home once he finishes that.”
