#RevolutionNow convener, Omoyele Sowore on Tuesday said that the Nigeria Police Force had decided not to release a social media influencer, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan on bail despite meeting the conditions.

VeryDarkMan was arrested by the police over claims that they had received a series of petitions against his conduct online.

Sowore added that the police force intends to hold him in detention till when he is arraigned in court.

He wrote: “Regarding @thatverydarkman, he’s being held hostage by the highest authorities at the @PoliceNG; after meeting stringent administrative bail conditions yesterday afternoon, they met and decided to “teach him a lesson” by holding him in indefinite detention until they charge him to court, possibly after the Easter Holidays. (They’re currently shopping for a judge to do their bidding).”

SaharaReporters had reported how VeryDarkMan was previously summoned by the police over the alleged cyberbullying of Nollywood actress, Tonto Dikeh.

VeryDarkMan made this known in a viral video in January where he raised concern about his safety as he walked into the Force Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department in Abuja, the nation’s capital.
