JUST IN: VERYDARKMAN RELEASED FROM POLICE CUSTODY
Popular social media influencer and blogger, Martins Vincent Otse, also known as Verydarkman, has been released from police custody.
On Monday, it was reported that the blogger had fulfilled his bail requirements and been set free.
However, at the time this report was filed, the specifics of the bail condition were still unclear.
A viral video on social media platform X Monday shows VeryDarkMan walking into his fans after regaining freedom.
Recall that the social media critic was arraigned before the Federal High Court sitting in Abuja, facing five counts of cyberstalking involving the Nigerian police and Nollywood actresses Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dike, to which he pleaded not guilty.
His lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, applied for bail, but the police prosecuting team informed Justice Mobolaji
Olajuwon said that they needed more time to respond to the application, leading the court to adjourn the bail hearing to May 29.
The prosecution sought to have the blogger remanded in prison custody, but his lawyers successfully argued for his remand in police custody instead.
The court granted this request, and Verydarkman was subsequently taken to the National Cybercrime Centre.
