Verydarkman Remanded In Police Custody For Cyberbullying

Controversial social media critic, Martin Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, has been remanded in police custody until his next hearing, scheduled for next Wednesday. Otse appeared before the Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday, facing five counts of cyberstalking involving the Nigeria Police and Nollywood actresses Iyabo Ojo and Tonto Dikeh, to which he pleaded not guilty.

Otse's lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, applied for bail, but the police prosecution team requested more time to respond. Consequently, Justice Mobolaji Olajuwon adjourned the bail hearing to May 29. The prosecution sought to have Otse remanded in prison, but his lawyers successfully argued for his remand in police custody instead. As a result, Otse was taken to the National Cybercrime Centre.

The charges against Otse include:

Posting a video on October 29, 2023, on his Instagram handle 'verydarkblackman,' containing offensive, pornographic, or menacing information, falsely alleging that Iyabo Ojo had an indecent sexual relationship with her daughter. This violates Section 24 (1)(a) of the Cybercrime (Prohibition, Prevention, etc) Act, 2015.
Posting a video on January 19, 2024, on Instagram, falsely accusing King Tonto Dikeh of criminal conversion of crowdfunding proceeds and being behind the Gistlover blog, intending to cause annoyance, inconvenience, and other harm. This violates Section 24 (1)(b) of the Cybercrime Act.
Posting a video on March 19, 2024, alleging that senior police officers and lawmakers were involved in sexual activities with Bobrisky, intending to cause annoyance, inconvenience, and other harm. This also violates Section 24 (1)(b) of the Cybercrime Act.
Posting another video on March 19, 2024, claiming that Bobrisky was pimping young boys to senators and senior police officers, intending to cause annoyance, inconvenience, and other harm, violating Section 24 (1)(b) of the Cybercrime Act.

Otse's case has garnered significant attention on social media, with various users expressing their opinions on the charges and his remand.

We End It Together – Tonto Dikeh Joins Iyabo Ojo In Fight Against Naira Marley

Prominent Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has publicly expressed her solidarity with fellow actress Iyabo Ojo amidst the legal battle involving a N500 million lawsuit from singer Naira Marley.

According to reports, Naira Marley, through his lawyer, Olalekan Ojo, accused Iyabo Ojo of spreading false and defamatory content against him on social media in a legal letter sent last Thursday. The singer demanded a redress of N500 million along with a public apology from Iyabo.

In response, Iyabo Ojo filed a counterclaim of N1 billion, as confirmed by a letter from her lawyer dated December 18, 2023, addressed to Naira Marley's legal representatives. The letter contested that the singer's allegations in the lawsuit were "misleading" and had not been properly served to their client.

On her Instagram page on Tuesday, Tonto Dikeh expressed her support for Iyabo Ojo by sharing a copy of the N1 billion counterclaim. In her caption, she wrote, "We started together, and we end it together Regardless." This public declaration underscores Tonto Dikeh's solidarity with her colleague in the face of legal challenges.

Why I Defected To APC – Tonto Dikeh

Renowned Nollywood actress turned politician Tonto Dikeh has shed light on her decision to switch her political allegiance from the African Democratic Congress (ADC) to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

On Monday, Tonto Dikeh was officially introduced as an APC member by Dr Mary Alile, the National Women Leader, at the party's national secretariat in Abuja. In explaining her move to the APC, Tonto, who served as the running mate for the ADC governorship candidate in Rivers State during the 2023 elections, cited her belief in the betterment of Nigeria under President Bola Tinubu's administration.

Taking to her Instagram page on Tuesday, the actress shared her perspective, saying, "Facts supported by evidence often bring disputes to a close, prompting significant decisions and changes for the greater good. Presented with these facts, objectives, and the vision of the current Renewed Hope agenda, I have chosen to set aside emotions and work for the greater good of Nigerian youth, women, and the nation as a whole, as I have consistently done through the Committee of Youth on Mobilization and Sensitization (CYMS) platform in collaboration with the Federal Government."

She added, "Over the years, I've learned that impactful leadership arises from visionary leaders who offer selfless service to humanity. This isn't just a personal victory but a collective achievement for our aspirations, hopes, and efforts to ensure we leave a proud legacy for future generations. As a dedicated Nigerian, I want to emphasize my faith in the prosperity of Nigeria under President Bola Tinubu's Renewed Hope agenda.
