A Federal High Court in Abuja has granted bail to Martin Otse, a controversial social media critic known as VeryDarkMan, who has been charged with cyberbullying.
He was released from police custody after completing the bail conditions on Monday. However, detailed bail terms are not yet publicly available.
On May 22, Otse was charged in Abuja’s Federal High Court on allegations of cyberstalking.
The defendant was accused by Nigerian Police of uploading obscene videos on Instagram and making indecent claims against Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh.
The court granted their motion, resulting in his transfer to the National Cybercrime Centre.
It should be recalled that VeryDarkMan was detained on March 22 but later freed on March 31. His lawyer stated that the arrest was based on accusations from Tonto Dikeh, Iyabo Ojo, and Samklef.
