Vincent Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan, remains in custody following his recent arrest, prompting concern and public updates from his brother, Mark, and a close associate, Kokopee.

The outspoken Nigerian social media commentator was taken into custody on Friday, May 1. His arrest came shortly after he shared a video online showing himself and his mother at a bank, protesting an alleged unauthorized deduction from her salary account related to a loan she reportedly never obtained.

The following day, Mark and Kokopee visited the Abuja headquarters of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in hopes of delivering food and drinks to VeryDarkMan. Despite their efforts, they were not permitted to see or speak with him.

Mark revealed that EFCC officials informed them of a directive barring all visitors from seeing the detainee, even for food delivery. Authorities, however, reassured them that VeryDarkMan would be taken care of during his detention.

In his words:

“They said there’s a standing order that nobody should see VDM today, even to give him food, that they would feed him.”
