Social media critic Martins Otse, widely known as Verydarkman (VDM), has made headlines following his appearance at the Lagos High Court for the defamation case filed against him by the Falanas. The case has been widely discussed on social media, with Gistlover previously reporting VDM’s arrival in Lagos on Wednesday, November 13, where he explained his stance on not apologizing to the Falanas.
In a video capturing his arrival at the court, VDM was dressed in clothing reminiscent of a traditional priest, walking barefoot as he made his way into the courthouse. His unusual attire added a layer of intrigue to the already high-profile case, with many social media users commenting on his bold appearance.
Another video showed a group of enthusiastic fans cheering as he entered the courtroom with his team, offering support amidst the ongoing legal drama. VDM’s supporters have rallied behind him, expressing their approval and excitement over his court appearance.
This case stems from a previous altercation between VDM and crossdresser Bobrisky, during which the Falanas became involved. The Falanas have accused VDM of defamation, claiming that he has tarnished their reputation through various online remarks. VDM, however, has maintained that he will not apologize and continues to stand by his statements.
The court proceedings are being closely watched, as this legal battle has become one of the most talked-about topics in the Nigerian social media space.
