It’s giving “one man mumu the whole system” vibes. If you don’t know who VeryDarkMan (VDM) is by now, you’ve been chilling under a rock. The social media firebrand, real name Martins Vincent Otse, has been dragging celebs, shaking tables, and — of course — landing in police trouble like it’s a monthly subscription.
Let’s break down this wahala-filled timeline like real gist.
March Madness: Tonto, Iyabo & Cell Time
Early 2024, VDM carried celebrity beef on his head like gala. He accused Tonto Dikeh and Iyabo Ojo of being shady during the late Mohbad’s case — boom, lawsuit.
Cyberbullying? Check.
Defamation? Double check.
Police cell? Of course.
He was locked up for two weeks. But guess what? He came out with more fire — still dragging, still fearless.
Police Uniform Palava
October 2024, VDM wore a police uniform in a video. Harmless skit? Maybe. But Nigerian Police no dey joke. They picked him up like pure water sachet — interrogated him and later released him.
Netizens? Confused. Some shouted “abuse of power!” Others said, “na clout he dey chase.”
Mercy Chinwo Saga: Court Says ‘Come’, He Says ‘Nah’
Fast forward to March 2025. VDM got into it with gospel singer Mercy Chinwo and her husband. Allegedly accused them of living a fake life.
Result? Court summoned him.
Response? Crickets.
So, the Magistrate Court in Abuja issued a bench warrant for his arrest. But the man was moving freely. Internet people started asking, “Is this guy untouchable?”
EFCC Shocker: May 2025 Arrest
Now here’s the blockbuster twist. On May 2, 2025, EFCC — yes, the anti-corruption guys — stormed a GTBank in Abuja and picked him up like a Nollywood movie scene.
Reason? “Multiple petitions for cyberstalking, defamation, and harassment.”
Wait… since when did EFCC become the social media police?
The internet exploded:
“Free VDM!”
“Why EFCC dey involve?”
“This is political!”
Celebs Take Sides: Support or Silence
Some stars came through:
- Davido reposted #FreeVDM.
- Peter Okoye (Mr P) tweeted in support.
- Simi and a few others liked posts but didn’t say much.
But Saidaboj? Oh boy, he dropped a whole video saying he no go support VDM — talk about bad blood.
Freedom At Last: “We’re Outside!”
After 5 days in EFCC custody, VDM came out shouting, “We’re outside!” like a street anthem. He didn’t waste time — immediately dropped a video calling out fake friends and “celeb hypocrites.”
Is VDM A Hero or a Menace?
That’s the million-naira question. Some see him as the voice of the voiceless — dragging injustice, exposing fakery. Others say he’s toxic, loud, and reckless.
But one thing’s for sure — VeryDarkMan is not done.
Wahala be like bicycle. And for VDM, the ride is just getting started.
