Social media influencer Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as Verydarkman has been granted bail by a Federal High Court sitting in Abuja after he satisfied his bail conditions on Monday.
Verydarkman was arrested and subsequently arraigned in May 22, 2024 on account of cyberstalking and defamation of actress Iyabo Ojo whom he accused of having indecent relationship with her daughter Priscilla Ojo.
In a viral video, Verydarkman called out the Nigeria Police for failing to arrest crossdresser Idris Okuneye popularly known as Bobrisky and stated that some Police operatives were having an amorous relationship with the Crossdresser hence, their inability to arrest him.
The Nigeria Police Force through spokesperson ACP Prince Olumuyiwa Adejobi pointed out that there was no law against crossdressing in Nigeria and so it cannot arrest Bobrisky at the time.
The Police also disclosed that Verydarkman was arrested over series of petition written against him over his conduct on social media.
