Court Grants VeryDarkMan N2 Million Bail With Stringent Conditions

After his arraignment for impersonation on Friday, social media critic Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, was granted bail in the amount of N2 million, with two sureties in the same sum.

The court also ordered VeryDarkMan to deposit his international passports and any other means of identification.

The Police had arraigned VDM as he’s popularly called for impersonation.

This followed the use of Police uniform as seen in a viral video clip.

Recall that the Police on Thursday last week condemned the unauthorized use of its official uniforms and accoutrements by VDM in a video posted on his social media platforms.

The Force, in a statement by its spokesperson, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said it had launched an investigation into the circulating video.

The bail terms forwarded to journalists by VDM’s lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, reads: “Two million, two sureties in like terms. Sureties to deposit international passports, sureties to provide means of Identification. Sureties to depose to affidavit to provide the defendant during trial at all times.

“⁠Prosecutor to verify sureties’ address. Sureties to provide utility bills, defendant to depose to affidavit to be available at all times during trial. Sureties to reside within the Court’s jurisdiction, particularly Abuja municipal.”
