Obi diehard fans, I hope you don hear it from Tinubu minister. Forget it here, Tinubu will used 8 years in power and handover to the northern region back.
The Nigerian police have released the detained social media influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan.
The police initially refused to release him on Sunday, blaming it on Easter break.
SaharaReporters earlier reported that VeryDarkMan was supposed to regain his freedom on Easter Day but the police claimed there were no personnel available to process his release due to the Easter celebration.
A source privy to the matter told SaharaReporters earlier on Sunday that even though the Chairman of the Police Service Commission, Dr Solomon Arase had said the lawyers representing the social media influencer could go and get him, the Investigating Police Officers initially met on duty said there was no instruction to that effect.
SaharaReporters later learnt that the Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), Force Criminal of Investigation Department (FCID) in Abuja, Mr Sylvester Abiodun Alabi, said the lawyers could return on Tuesday to get their client.
“I heard that the IPOs the lawyers initially met said they had not received any instruction to release VeryDarkMan but later when they were able to reach DIG Alabi, he said there was no one available to process the release because of the Easter break.
“So he asked them to come back for VeryDarkMan on Tuesday after the Easter break is over,” the source said.
However, after SaharaReporters’ report, the police released the social media influencer.
#RevolutionNow convener on Sunday evening posted, “Good news on Easter Sunday! @thatverydarkman is now free! Thanks for all your efforts to ensure oppression will not always win! #RevolutionNow.”
SaharaReporters had reported that VeryDarkMan was arrested by the police over claims that they had received a series of petitions against his conduct online.
The socialite had shared a video where he alleged that controversial cross-dresser Bobrisky was sleeping with many Nigerian lawmakers and police chiefs.
He said Bobrisky would have been arrested for openly claiming to be gay and being a trans woman if not that the socialite was sleeping with lawmakers and top police chiefs.
He said, “Make dem start by arresting Bobrisky. The lawmakers wey put this law, make dem first arrest Bobrisky because we watched Bobrisky from being a man, e turn woman for our eye like this. E do breast, e do yansh, e dey wear wig, e dey go party, e dey do everything, nobody arrest am. (They should start by arresting Bobrisky. The lawmakers who made the law should first arrest Bobrisky because we watched Bobrisky, a man, turned to a woman. He did surgeries to turn himself into a woman and no one has arrested him).”
“And you know why nobody arrest am? Because the lawmakers, plenty of them dey doke am. I dare them to arrest Bobrisky for Nigeria. Shey dem say na 14 years? I dare anybody to arrest am, I dare anybody because Bobrisky dey come out talk say e carry man, man carry am, na man dey spend for him, I dare Nigerian government to arrest Bobrisky if e no go cast! We dey country wey be say dem say na 14 years but Bobrisky dey fly (Do you know why no one has arrested him? It is because the lawmakers sleep with him. There is a law in this country that says people who engage in same-sex relationships will be jailed for 14 years but Bobrisky is a free man).
“The day they arrest Bobrisky na that day una go know how many people dey run this thing for this country. Down to plenty of them for the north, down to plenty of them for the east and down to plenty of them for the wet and the south (Any day they arrest Bobrisky, you will know how many gays and lesbians we have in Nigeria).”
#RevolutionNow convener, Omoyele Sowore last Tuesday lamented that the Nigeria Police Force had decided not to release VeryDarkMan on bail despite meeting the conditions.
Giving an update on the issue via his X handle, the human rights activist explained that VeryDarkMan was being held hostage because the leadership of the police force felt he should be punished for accusing them of homosexuality.
Sowore added that the police force intended to hold him in detention till when he was arraigned in court.
He wrote: “Regarding @thatverydarkman, he's being held hostage by the highest authorities at the @PoliceNG; after meeting stringent administrative bail conditions yesterday afternoon, they met and decided to "teach him a lesson" by holding him in indefinite detention until they charge him to court, possibly after the Easter Holidays. (They're currently shopping for a judge to do their bidding).”
“This is because they claimed he accused them (Police DIGs) of homosexuality. They're taking laws into their own hands,” he added.
SaharaReporters had reported how VeryDarkMan was previously summoned by the police over the alleged cyberbullying of Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh.
VeryDarkMan made this known in a viral video in January where he raised concern about his safety as he walked into the Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
I know that they will reach this level, they will all failed woefully beyond redemption in their next move. Fubara is for the good people of Rivers State. Fubara will win the war well

VeryDarkMan’s Lawyer Reveals Those Behind His Arrest
The lawyer of controversial social media critic, Verydarkman on Tuesday revealed those behind his arrest as he noted why he is still been detained at the Police custody in Abuja.
New Telegraph recalls that Verydarkman was alleged to have been arrested on Friday on the allegations of cyberbullying.
However, Verydarkman’s lawyer who came out to give details about his predicament said those who had initiated his arrest were still those who had filed a petition against him the previous year.
According to the lawyer, Tonto Dikeh, Iyabo Ojo and Samklef are those behind the arrest of VeryDarkMan.
He disclosed that they filed different petitions to different policing agencies who have all summoned the activist.
The lawyer also made known that Verydarkman was requested to provide a civil servant as surety, however, different levels of civil servants have been demanded to stand in as surety for Verydarkman.
He conveyed his faith in the police’s professionalism to release his client on bond. But in the event that bail was refused, he threatened to take legal action.
Speaking further, he affirmed the right to peaceful protest in compliance with the law both offline and online, stressing that due process will be observed.
In addition, the attorney expressed VeryDarkMan’s appreciation for the help he has gotten since the beginning of his legal battle and reaffirmed their dedication to handling the case with diligence.
Wow Jaruma really show love here. Meanwhile, Kelly Hassino Gives Fresh Update On VeryDarkMan’s Arrest
Media personality, Kelly Hassino has given a fresh update on the arrest of the Nigerian social media activist, Verydarkman as he revealed why fans and followers should not expect his release anytime soon.
It would be recalled that the social media critic was arrested a few days back and despite being reportedly granted bail conditions, he remained behind bars.
Speaking on his continued detention, Hassino said the political forces behind the case of the critic are stronger beyond expectations.
He further disclosed via his Facebook account that all efforts to secure his release by other celebrities, regardless of their influence will amount to nothing because of those on the critic’s case.
“There’s rumors of a very dark man being released but I can tell you authoritatively that he hasn’t been released. I’m privy to some information about the details of his case and I can tell you that he may not be released anytime soon due to the powers against him.
“Despite meeting his bail conditions and top celebrities trying to wade into his matter to influence his release, in government, power passes power and some of the most powerful people with raw and powers are people you haven’t even heard their names before or seen on television.
“Verydarkblackman doesn’t live far from where I live. I got to know his “one-room” house where he makes all the content and I was surprised it’s close to mine. About 10 minutes drive.
“No amount of protest or calls for his release can save him seeing the nature or mentality of the people against him.
“They would rather the country burns down than not satisfy their desires but we’ll keep trying hopefully they hear. I do this because I understand I could be arrested too someday and Verydarkman is the kind of guy to stand up for one.”
Jaruma promise to visit VeryDarkMan in Police Station and also carry food along to give him. We need to visit VeryDarkMan in detention to show him that women are not as b@d as he’s always painting them — Jaruma begs Nigerian ladies
Solitechworld: Seun, it's imperative that you take swift action to remove Holiness2100 as one of the moderators on this platform. His consistent dissemination of fake news, particularly regarding sensitive topics such as the Israel genocide in Gaza, undermines the integrity of this community. The recent incident where he shared false information, which was subsequently removed even by the IDF itself, is a clear demonstration of his lack of credibility and responsibility.
Allowing individuals like Holiness2100 to maintain positions of authority on this platform not only perpetuates misinformation but also damages the reputation and trustworthiness of the entire community. As a moderator, he has a duty to ensure that accurate and reliable information is shared, yet he has repeatedly failed to uphold this responsibility.
@Seun, it's within your power and responsibility to uphold standards of integrity and truthfulness. Holiness2100's actions have demonstrated that he is unfit to serve as a moderator here. By taking decisive action to remove him from this position, you can uphold the principles of honesty and accountability that this platform should stand for
let Seun makes him the moderator of religion section. He’s not biased
