Mercy took the matter to court and filed a suit against him for defamation.
On Thursday, March 13, 2025, the presiding judge, Emmanuel Iyanna, granted the order for VeryDarkMan's arrest after he failed to show up in court on March 5, 2025, despite being summoned.
Reacting to the situation, VDM stated that what was happening was a power play and that there was something fishy going on. He asked how an arrest warrant would be issued when he was not even in the country.
He stated that Mercy Chinwo was doing everything she could to bring him down and sweep the case under the carpet.
