Cyberbullying: VeryDarkMan regains freedom after 3 weeks in detention
A Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail to Martin Otse, the controversial social media critic known as VeryDarkMan, who was accused of cyberbullying.
He was set free from police custody upon meeting the bail terms on Monday.
However, specific bail conditions are still not public as of now.
Otse faced charges related to cyberstalking and was arraigned at the Federal High Court in Abuja on May 22.
The Nigerian police charged the defendant for posting offensive videos on his Instagram and making indecent allegations against Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh.
One of the charges alleged that Otse posted videos on his Instagram handle containing information that was “grossly offensive, pornographic or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character”.
In another charge, the defendant was said to have alleged that Iyabo Ojo was having an indecent sexual relationship with her daughter.
Police further claimed that the defendant alleged that Tonto Dikeh was the person behind the gossip blog Gistlover.
The social media critic, however, denied all charges brought against him.
The prosecution requested his remand in prison, but his legal team requested he remain in police custody.
The court approved their request, leading to his transfer to the National Cybercrime Centre.
Gatekeeper recalls that VeryDarkMan was initially arrested on March 22 but later released on March 31.
His lawyer disclosed that the arrest was based on complaints from Tonto Dikeh, Iyabo Ojo and Samklef.
Mark Angel, a Nigerian comedian, has responded to speculations that he is no longer managing teen comedians Emmanuella and Aunty Success.
During a TikTok live session, the comedian revealed that he has stepped down from managing the young stars and that their careers are now managed by a professional agency.
“There was a time when I managed Emmanuella and Success when they were kids, but I no longer manage them.
“I am too busy to manage them. So, they have an agency that manages them, but I still work with them,” he said.
The comedian went on to say that even if he no longer manages the teenagers, his connection with the girls would not go down and that it is still solid.
He insisted that he would continue to work with them with the same passion that had garnered them recognition.
Big Brother Naija reality show star, Tacha has removed Davido’s tattoo from her chest.
The development came after Tacha’s fell out with Davido.
Gatekeeper reports that the duo fell out after the reality star tackled Davido for liking a shady tweet about her colleague, Phyna in October 2023.
In response, the singer went on to like a tweet that subtly shaded Tacha.
Amid the public altercation, Tacha vowed to remove the tattoo of Davido’s face drawn on her chest.
However, in a now trending video on her Instagram page, Tacha who recently relocated to the UK, shared the procedure of how the tattoo was removed.
Recall that she got a tattoo of the singer before she entered Big Brother house back in 2019.
