An Abuja Chief Magistrate Court on Thursday issued a bench warrant for the arrest of controversial social media activist, Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan.
The arrest order followed a criminal defamation case that was brought before the court by a renowned female gospel singer, Mercy Chinwo.
In his ruling, Magistrate Emmanuel Iyana ordered the Nigeria Police Force and other law enforcement agencies to arrest VDM and produce him before the court to answer to criminal allegations that were levelled against him by the gospel singer.
The court noted that the defendant failed to honour a summon it issued on March 5, which directed him to appear for the proceeding.
