Deji Adeyanju, the legal representative of Martins Otse, aka VeryDarkMan, on Tuesday, August 5, penned a message to Nigerians on the need to steer clear of trouble.

The lawyer and human rights activist, however, stated that he was available to be a legal representative to people who refused to accept his advice.

"Stay out of trouble if you can but if your body dey pepper you, please go ahead. We are here for you. Call me," he said.

Adeyanju's advice, however, coincided with the time Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo petitioned multiple high-level authorities within Nigeria and beyond, accusing the CP Uche Ifeanyi Henry, Director of the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Centre (NPF-NCCC), of gross misconduct.

She also alleged a bias in the handling of a cybercrime case involving VeryDarkMan.

Iyabo Ojo's petition claimed CP Uche failed to uphold the rule of law during her interrogation at the Cyber Crime Unit in Abuja.

According to the actress, VeryDarkMan, who is also a defendant in a separate criminal matter, was allowed to stroll into her interrogation room uninvited.

Iyabo alleged that VDM was casually drinking coffee and eating biscuits during the session, while behaving like a VIP in a restricted legal setting.

Stay out of trouble if you can but if your body dey pepper you, please go ahead. We are here for you. Call me 📞
