The police have re-arraigned controversial social media critic, Martins Otse, widely known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), for allegedly cyberbullying actresses Tonto Dikeh and Iyabo Ojo.

The police also accused the activist of cyber bullying famous Nigerian producer and singer Samuel Oguachuba, also known as Samklef, among others.

VDM was re-arraigned on Thursday before Justice Musa Liman of the Federal High Court in the Federal Capital Territory on a five-count charge.

He, however, pleaded not guilty to the charge .

His lawyer, Deji Adeyanju, prayed the court to allow VDM to continue on the earlier bail granted by Justice Mobolaji Olajuwon of a sister court.

Counsel to the IGP, Victor Okoye, did not object, and the judge admitted him to the earlier bail terms and adjourned the matter until July 24 for trial.
