Martin Otse, the controversial social media critic known as VeryDarkMan, has been remanded in police custody until his next court hearing scheduled for next week Wednesday. Otse was reportedly arraigned for cyberbullying in an Abuja court, to which he pleaded not guilty.
His lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, applied for bail on Otse's behalf. However, the prosecution requested more time to respond to the bail application, leading to the adjournment of the bail hearing to May 29. Otse's case has sparked debate over freedom of speech and the boundaries of online criticism.
