Nigerian gospel singer Mercy Chinwo and her husband, Uzochinwa, are now being blamed by some angry netizens for online critic Verydarkman’s arrest.
Recall that on May 1, 2025, the social critic, whose real name is Vincent Martins Otse, was arrested after leaving a GTBank premises with his mother when he followed her to sort out the issue of missing funds from her account.
After his arrest, many claims started to fly around on social media and singer, Seun Kuti, shared what he knew of the matter. According to him, he discovered from VDM’s lawyer that the issue was because of a gospel artist that VDM had talked about concerning taking someone’s money.

After Seun Kuti’s video went viral, many Nigerians pointed fingers at Mercy Chinwo seeing as VDM had tackled her recently over her issue with her former manager, Eezee Tee.
Nollywood filmmaker, Stanley Ontop, then went on his Instagram page to share what Mercy Chinwo and her husband, Blessed, did when he told them to free VeryDarkMan.
According to the movie maker, Mercy Chinwo blocked him on Instagram after he told her and her husband to free VeryDarkMan.
Stanley Ontop wrote:
“Mercy Chinwo blocked me last night because I told her and her husband to free VDM. It is laughable how a minister of God would just block me for saying the truth.”
In the caption of the post, the filmmaker also wrote:
“APC gospel singer 🤦♂️ Merciless Chinwo why🤷♂️ Nigeria is in a mess 💔🤦♂️ God save Nigeria 🇳🇬 🙏 Free VDM ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼 He talks too much yes we know, Buh free him for us 🙏.”

VDM’s brother stopped from giving critic food at EFCC HQ
Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG earlier reported that Nigerian online critic, VeryDarkMan’s brother, Mark and his friend, Kokopee, updated Nigerians about the situation of things after he was arrested upon leaving GTBank.
A day after VDM’s arrest, Kokopee and VDM’s brother went to the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC)’s headquarters in Abuja to give the social critic something to eat. They took fruits and some drinks with them. However, the young men were denied entry to see VeryDarkMan.
VDM’s brother shared the reason he was given when he tried to give the critic food.
