The police have re-arraigned controversial social media
critic, Martins Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), for allegedly
cyberbullying actresses Tonto Dikeh and Iyabo Ojo.
The police also accused the activist of cyber bullying
famous Nigerian producer and singer Samuel Oguachuba, also known as Samklef,
among others.
VDM was re-arraigned on Thursday before Justice Musa Liman
of the Federal High Court in the Federal Capital Territory on a five-count
charge.
He, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge .
His lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, prayed the court to allow VDM to
continue on the earlier bail granted by Justice Mobolaji Olajuwon of a sister
court.
Counsel to the IGP, Victor Okoye, did not object, and the
judge admitted him to the earlier bail terms and adjourned the matter until
July 24 for trial.
Recall that VDM was on May 22, 2024, arraigned before
Justice Olajuwon on the same offences, which are punishable under Section 24 of
the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act, 2015.
On June 10, 2024, he was granted a N10 million bail, with
two sureties who must be employees of reputable companies or Level 17 officers
in a federal civil service with evidence of three years’ tax clearance.
