Social media activist, Martins Vincent Otse, known as VeryDarkMan, has responded to a petition filed against him by Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh.
VeryDarkMan was initially summoned by the police weeks ago over cyberbullying allegations, but he declined the invitation, citing concerns for his safety.
He rescheduled the meeting for January, expressing surprise at the sudden summons and suspecting foul play, particularly since he was unaware of the petitioner’s identity.
On Wednesday, January 10, VeryDarkMan voluntarily appeared at The Nigeria Police Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID), Area 10.
While expressing apprehension about his personal safety, the activist questioned the motives behind the cyberbullying charges.
VeryDarkMan emphasized his determination to uncover the petitioner’s identity. He warned of speaking out if any harm befell him, asserting his refusal to be silenced.
Maintaining his innocence, VeryDarkMan refused to apologize to anyone, stating that his online statements focus on public importance or raising awareness without targeting individuals.
He affirmed his steadfast stance, declaring his willingness to endure an extended confinement rather than apologize for unfounded accusations.
The social media activist urged followers to hold accountable those responsible for any harm directed at him.
He said: “So, I’m about to enter Area 10 over the invite that was sent to me, just incase una no see me online later, make una know where I enter. You know the last time when they set up the date, I suspected something fishy.
“However, I’m going in there though they didn’t tell me who filed the report, they only said someone filed cyberbullying charges against me. I know I’ve never sent anyone an email, I have never DM’ed anybody to say anything harsh or anything negative so I don’t know where they are getting that idea.
“For me, I’m suspecting something, I feel like I’m not safe. But for the person that filed the charges, I hope you understand that I will find out who you’re. So if una no see me, make una hold them and if they threaten or touch me, If I come outside I will talk. Anything they do me, I will talk.
“They sha can’t ’kpai’ me. And if na all those wey them dey do make person come apologize online, I no dey apologize to anybody, I’d rather sleep inside there for 10 years. I now fully well that I did not do anything to anybody.
“All the things I’ve said online is based on public importance or awareness. I’ve never gone out of my way to start picking on any person. So anything, make una know where I dey.”
Reports circulating on social media suggest that Tonto Dikeh filed a petition against VeryDarkMan, leading to his arrest.

VeryDarkMan was invited not arrested. What grounds does Tonto Dikeh have to arrest him? The guy has been a thorn in their flesh & it's only normal they may try to get him out of the way, but I think it's too late.
