Social media critic Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, has been given bail of N2 million with two sureties in an equivalent amount after he was arraigned for impersonation on Friday, November 1, 2024.

Additionally, the social media critic was ordered by the court to deposit his international passports and any other identifying documents.

VeryDarkMan was arraigned by the police because of his well-known impersonation.

This came after a widely shared video clip of the social media activist in a police uniform surfaced.

Last Thursday, the police issued a video on VeryDarkMan's social media accounts denouncing his unlawful use of the police's official uniforms and accessories.

Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Force's spokesperson, said in a statement that the Force has opened an investigation into the video that was going viral.

The bail terms by VeryDarkMan's lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, read, “Two million, two sureties in like terms. Sureties to deposit international passports, sureties to provide means of identification. Sureties to depose to an affidavit to provide the defendant during trial at all times.

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