May 02, (THEWILL) – A popular social media personality and influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan, has been arrested.
His lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, said VeryDarkMan was arrested on Friday at the premises of Guaranty Trust Bank (GTBank) in Area 3, Abuja, by officers of the Nigeria Police Force.
“My client, VeryDarkMan, was arrested today in Abuja by the Nigerian police. His only offence was speaking out about suspicious and repeated debits from his mother’s GTBank account for loans she never took”, he said.
Earlier, VeryDarkMan took to his social media platforms to express his concerns about multiple deductions from his mother’s account after his younger sister drew his attention to it.
In a post that has since gone viral, VeryDarkMan revealed that they visited a GTBank branch in Abuja to demand an explanation and obtain a copy of their bank statement.
“Myself and my mom just arrived at GTBank to get an explanation for the constant debit from her account by GTBank in the name of loan repayments that she never took. In this year alone, see the amount of times she has been debited with different amounts.
“We have requested her bank statements so we know when the debiting started. So far, in this year alone, there have been more than seven debits on loan repayments. GTBank staff are cooperating—hopefully, we’ll know why they keep doing this.”
