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.

Nigerians reacted to the news amid reports that his lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, was unsuccessful in his move to plead with the court.
