Cyberbullying: VeryDarkMan Is Released From Custody After Three Weeks

Martin Otse, the controversial social media critic known as VeryDarkMan, who was accused of cyberbullying, has been granted bail by a Federal High Court in Abuja.

On Monday, he was released from police prison after fulfilling the conditions of his bail.

Specific bail requirements are currently not available to the public, though. On May 22, Otse was arraigned at the Federal High Court in Abuja, where he was charged with cyberstalking.

The defendant was prosecuted by the Nigerian police for making derogatory remarks against Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh and for uploading inflammatory films to his Instagram account.

According to one of the accusations, Otse uploaded films to his Instagram account with content that was “grossly insulting, pornographic or of an indecent obscene or menacing character”.

In another charge, the defendant was said to have alleged that Iyabo Ojo was having an indecent s*xual relationship with her daughter.

Police further claimed that the defendant alleged that Tonto Dikeh was the person behind the gossip blog Gistlover.

The social media critic, however, denied all charges brought against him.

The prosecution requested his remand in prison, but his legal team requested he remain in police custody.

The court approved their request, leading to his transfer to the National Cybercrime Centre.

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life, but define yourself.

Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy

One ❤️❤️❤️
