Nigerian online critic, Vincent Martins Otse, aka VeryDarkMan’s fan, has taken his matter to God after his latest arrest.
Recall that on May 1, 2025, the social commentator was arrested after leaving a GTBank branch where he had accompanied his mother to complain about missing funds from her bank account.
VDM’s arrest caused a massive uproar on social media with many of the critic’s fans taking to social media to clamour for his release. However, one of VeryDarkMan’s fans took things a step further by tabling the matter before God.
