Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), a well-known Nigerian social media personality, was arrested by police on Friday at a Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) branch in Abuja.
The arrest reportedly stems from allegations made by VDM accusing GTBank of unauthorized withdrawals from his mother’s bank account.
VDM’s legal representative, Barrister Deji Adeyanju, confirmed the incident on Twitter, writing.
“JUST IN: VDM arrested by the police at GTB. Spoke to them before he was arrested. This is absolutely unacceptable. Demanding accountability is not a crime.”
Adeyanju also noted that VDM was detained alongside a companion identified as C Park, while his mother remained at the bank.
Further developments are anticipated.
