Nigerian online critic, Martins Vincent Otse aka VeryDarkMan, has broken his silence about the arrest warrant issued against him.
Recall that on Thursday, March 13, 2025, a chief magistrate court in Abuja ordered VeryDarkMan’s arrest after he failed to appear in court on March 5, 2025. This came after gospel singer Mercy Chinwo filed a defamation lawsuit of N1.1 billion against him.

On his Instagram stories he wrote:
