Activist, Martins Otse popularly known as VeryDarkMan has been arrested by police in Abuja.

His lawyer, Deji Adeyanju confirmed the development in a Facebook post on Friday.

Daily Sun reports that VeryDarkMan and his mother visited a branch of Guaranty Trust Holding Company (GTCO), better known as GTBank, on Friday over alleged unauthorised deductions from her account with the bank.

VeryDarkMan said the account had been debited on multiple occasions purportedly to repay a loan that she never took.

Confirming the activist’s arrest, Adeyanju wrote, “JUST IN: VDM arrested by the police at GTB. Spoke to them before he was arrested. This is absolutely unacceptable. Demanding accountability is not a crime.”

In another post, the lawyer wrote, “A team of policemen arrested VDM at GTB. He was arrested with his friend C Park, but they left his mum alone.”

The Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Police Command has not confirmed VeryDarkMan’s arrest. (Daily Sun)
